This book sheds new light on early twentieth-century secularism by
examining campaigns to challenge dominant Christian approaches to
the teaching of morality and citizenship in English schools, and to
offer superior alternatives. It brings together, for the first
time, the activities of different educators and pressure groups,
operating locally, nationally and internationally, over a period of
47 years. Who were these activists? What ideological and
organisational resources did they draw on? What proposals did they
make? And how did others respond to their views? Secularist
activists represented a minority, but offered a recurrent challenge
to majority views and shaped ongoing educational debates. They
achieved some, albeit limited, influence on policy and practice.
They were divided among themselves and by 1944 had failed to
supplant majority views. But, with the place of religious and
secular ideals in schools remaining a subject of debate, this
analysis has resonance today.
