They are just a very large family that is not in debt. I'm an atheist, but it doesn't bother me that they think every child is a gift from God - as long as they don't expect me to agree or to support them. They seem happy and well cared for, and that's more than can be said for a lot of 'normal' Christian families in the USA.
