I was entirely homeschooled elementary to high school. In my experience, I was taught to think for myself despite also being taught creationism and other bunk. But each homeschooler's environment and experience is different. Many homeschoolers are very sheltered from world because they don't have TV, or the internet (at least not without restrictive access). This isn't true in all cases though. I even remember coming across a very liberal homeschool family once (now I suspect even atheistic). Though undoubtedly the average homeschooler is of a fundamentalist Christian family.
