Secular Humanism: Implications of Court Decisions.

Bjorklun, Eugene C.

Religion and Public Education, v15 n3 p293-303 Sum 1988

Deals with court decisions related to secular humanism in public schools. States that the major issues are: (1) whether or not secular humanism is a religion; and (2) whether or not it is being promoted in public schools. Relates implications of the court's apparent definition of secular as nonreligious, rather than anti-religious. (LS)
