Question

what are the need for secularism

Answer 1

The government will not run on the basis of the religion.Citizens will have the right to follow any religion or no religion at all. Government wouldn't interfere or favour any religion. This is of utter importance as every single human has his own personal other reasons to follow a certain religion. If the government interferes in this case, that would be sort of violation of human rights. Every person should be independent and free. And so as to fulfill an individual's fundamental rights secularism is very important.
