Yea. We use text books we find at yard sales and Goodwill store. We use many books from library.
I like the christian books because they teach 2 subjects in one; that is we get our bible with the subject. We don't have any of those books because they are too expensive new and just haven't seemed to find any for grade level at the yard sales.

Seems like everyone has a lot of ideas of how to go secular. I won't add anything new, but we did design our own curriculum with pieces from various sources...libraries, book stores, local district materials, etc. It was totally secular and we think it worked very well for us.
I mainly wanted to reply, though, because of the comments by Brenna. Kids can be kids without being exposed to public eduction. What I would suggest is that you read up on the Prussion educational model to find out why schools were set up they way they are. In a nutshell, good soldiers, good employees. A little information wouldn't hurt along with the opinions.

There are many homeschool curriculums that are not overtly Christian, or that are secular altogether. You might check out k12 if it's offered in your area?
I also suggest that you get the catalog from www.rainbowresource.com - it's about the size of a phone book, and it's free. They offer discounted homeschool curriculum, a mix of Christian and secular.
Hope that helps!

Calvert is a great program and while it's curriculum is very moral it does not discuss religion. We have been very pleased with it and everything you need comes in the box. Even the paper and pencils. It's one of the oldest providers of homeschooling materials. They have a school back East but used to air drop materials to missionaries and such.
Brenna: You obviously don't know anything about homeschooling. Most kids are around other kids. We homeschool our children up until high school. Our oldest is going to be a senior he is one of the most popular kids in the high school, he has been on the Varsity football team since Sophmore year and has No social problems. Our home is often a hub of activity due to all the kids hanging out here. The Varsity football team lives at our home playing pool or swimming. Our phone rings non stop with girls and friends as does his cell phone. He is all advanced classes and is being recruited to play football for UNLV as well as Chapman university.
Secondly our children participate in sports in the local school district, we belong to a homeschooling group that does field trips and our kids participate in a program at lifetime fitness that does PE for homeschooled kids.
You are ignorant about homeschooling so unless you have educated yourself about it don't share your opinion.
And perhaps you are the one who is odd, after all your answers to other questions admit you are depressed and have severe anxiety. Sounds like homeschooled kids aren't the problem you are.

Yes, go to the link I have provided below.
When I homeschooled my sons and grandsons, I devised my own curriculum, based on the requirements in the California Department of Education guidelines, but many parents feel more at ease when they use one that is professionally prepared.

Calvert Homeschool curriculum is a secular one. I cannot personally recommend it but have heard that it is a good one from other homeschoolers.

"Wow, the respond that have been given hidden is a real indictment of the entire concept of homeschooling frequently." Malarkey. the actual incontrovertible fact that some human beings can not see something previous their very own pinhole international-view has not something to do with the validity of domicile guidance.
