Humanism What's That A Book for Curious Kids Author:Helen Bennett A conversation between Mrs. Green, a science teacher, and her students forms the basis of this thoughtful work. Starting with the historic concept of separation of church and state, the curious youngsters' insistent questions lead to a conversation of philosophic issues: When a fellow student is injured on her way to class, they wonder why they... more » aren't allowed to pray for her in class. Why do some people believe in God while others don't? What gives life meaning? In the course of what becomes a parent-approved after-school discussion, Mrs. Green presents a humanist point of view, emphasizing science's explanation of life and freedom of thought. Complete with discussion questions, suggestions for activities, and a bibliography, this is a refreshing, innovative approach to presenting humanism to young adults.« less
