The Secular Party of Australia (the Secular Party) is a minor Australian political party founded in late 2005. It supports Humanist ethical principles with its political agenda being:

• the separation of church and state
• individual freedom
• progressive economic policies
• a fair and equitable society
• global solutions to global problems

In 2005, The Secular Party took out a series of advertisements airing in prime time, spoken by party vice-president John Goldbaum. The campaign often used the slogan "Don't Let the Church Govern Australia," attacking the policies of the Howard Government and Liberal Party over abortion, contraception, and gay-marriage.
