You do *not* want to make all files and directories under /home
executable. You'll have to be more selective. This should take
care of the directories:
find /home -type d -print0 | xargs -0 chmod +x
If you have files that should be executable, perhaps in
/home/bmike1/bin, do something like:
chown +x /home/bmike1/bin/*

Yes, this is a good idea, I'd include everything under /home:
chmod -R go-w /home
