It was revealed years later that not all of the kids on the show remained in the Christian faith, particularly Richard "Sparky" Sparkman who was one of the show's most popular characters.
One of the girls on the show claimed she only did for the exposure to get into acting and really wasn't Christian.
Richard "Sparky" Sparkman freely admits that none of the kids were actually Christian. Sparkman is also atheist and supports abortion.
Janie Jo Allen (Burkett) admitted that she was never Christian and neither were the other kids. She freely admits to being an atheist and socialist and supporter of Black Lives Matter and campaigned for Joe Biden and supports abortion.
Fred "Chip" Luter who appeared on the series later became an ordained pastor but faced backlash from Todd Friel and John MacArthur. Lute supports Black Lives Matter, abortion, same sex toys, and advocates Christians to vote democrat.
