Sacred to Secular is a rational call for Australia to adopt the successful Scandinavian model and become a ‘fully secular’ nation that is religion-neutral. It is also an incisive analysis of Christianity – its origins, how it remains embedded in society, and the harm it continues to inflict. It exposes the threats of predatory evangelism in education, and of ‘corporate Christianity’ in the social and political environment. There is no argument against ‘personal and private’ faith, but it does analyse ‘politicised Christianity’ that influences the media and undermines Australia’s contemporary social agenda. All this leads to positive conclusions, realistic options, and a blueprint for action. The author’s media and publicity expertise is directed towards workable suggestions to achieve a variety of secular solutions.
