Question 3:
What do you understand by secularism? Can it be equated with religious tolerance?
Answers
ANSWER :
The dictionary meaning of Secularism is “Indifference or rejection or exclusion of religion and religious considerations”. Secularism rejects religion completely. It rather supports anti religious feelings. Secularism implies a way of life and conduct guided purely by materialistic consideration. It holds that materialism alone benefits mankind while religious feelings hold back it. But in its modern meaning Secularism means freedom of religion and a non interference policy of state in religious activity. In this way Secularism in its modern meaning is not anti religious. It is a policy of non interference by the state which give equal protection to all the religions. Secularism is a doctrine that opposes all forms of inter religious domination. Secularism challenges not merely inter religious but also intra religious domination.
No doubt religious tolerance is needed for the establishment of Secularism. But Secularism cannot be equated with religious toleration because Secularism is much more than the mere peaceful co-existence or toleration.
