The Humanist Society of Victoria has developed a curriculum for primary pupils that the state government accreditation body says it intends to approve, The Sunday Age newspaper reported.
Accredited volunteers will be able to teach their philosophy in the class time allotted for religious instruction, the newspaper said.
As with lessons delivered by faith groups, parents will be able to request that their children do not participate.
"Atheistical parents will be pleased to hear that humanistic courses of ethics will soon be available in some state schools," Victorian Humanist Society president Stephen Stuart said.
The society does not consider itself to be a religious organisation and believes ethics have "no necessary connection with religion".
Humanists believe people are responsible for their own destiny and reject the notion of a supernatural force or God.

Since there is no positive then there is no need for the negative.
Looks like good ol' Beelzebub may have to join the unemployment queue.
Pity for all the participants of BOHEMIAN GROVE*. Where will they go ?? !! ??
Maybe out of politics and into the schools for the masses of Victoria.
