Where do you live?

The best thing for you to do would be to go to a homeschool convention and wander the curriculum fair - go around to booths and look at what people are offering for curriculumn. There are a lot of secular/non religious options out there. My family was very Christian but Mom used a lot of secular materials for us - especially for things like math and grammar where the “Christian” stuff was just injected in on top and seemed stupid. Check your area for secular/non-religious homeschool associations (there are often these around though they can be sort of liberal).

I'll second your suggestion about homeschool curriculum fairs, but would recommend that you leave your checkbook and credit cards at home. ;o) You will want to buy so much, because so much looks so great, but you'll end up with stuff you don't ever use. Pick up brochures, take notes, get website info, then go home and mull it over.

Of course, if you've already DONE your homework before you go to the Fair, you might be able to take advantage of some special pricing on the curricula that you already know will work for your family.
