Google AI Overview re. secularism Secularism is the principle of separating religion from government and public life, advocating for a neutral state that doesn't favor any religion but protects everyone's freedom of belief. It promotes conducting public affairs based on non-religious, naturalistic grounds, ensuring public services and laws are inclusive and don't disadvantage people based on faith or non-faith, focusing on worldly matters. Core Principles Separation of Church & State: The government and religious institutions operate independently, preventing religious dogma from influencing laws or politics. Neutrality: The state remains neutral on religious matters, not promoting or banning any specific faith. Freedom of Conscience: Protects individuals' rights to believe or not believe, ensuring religious freedom for all citizens . Inclusive Public Sphere: Aims for public spaces, education, and services to be accessible and neutral for people of all backgrounds, as seen in secular states like India or the U.S. (with caveats)
Genuine #secularism should be #neutral.
