What is Secularism? 3 types of secularism: political, philosophical, socio-cultural.

Can you wear a cross, or any other religious symbol if you work in a public library? Well, it depends on what country you live in. Secularism comes in different shapes. The term ‘secularism’, similarly to the term ‘religion’, is broad and has many definitions. These definitions relate and have similar roots but describe different processes. For example, an expert on this question Dr. Phil Zuckerman suggests dividing secularism into three main types: 1) political 2) philosophical and 3) socio-cultural. He describes it as three branches of the same tree. In short, political secularism is about the separation of Church and State. Philosophical secularism refers to a worldview free of superstition that also seeks to debunk religious claims and reduce the influence of religion. Socio-cultural secularism is about the process of secularization when we see how religion is losing its authority in people’s day-to-day life. #secularism #what_is_secularism #religiolog Please become my Patron:   / 4religiolog   or support Religiolog through a one-time donation: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/relig...
