Correct Question?

Why is it important to separate religion from state.

Required Answer:-

The most important aspect of secularism is septation of religion from state power. This ensures a country to function democratically.

• Almost all countries of the world have more than one religious groups. Within these religious groups at least one group is in majority.
• If this group has access to state power,not could quite easily use this power and financial resources to discriminate against other religious groups.
• This tyranny of the majority can result in the discrimination, coercion and sometimes even the killing of religious minorities.
• The majority can quite easily prevent minorities from practising their religions.
• Any form of government based on religion is in violation of the rights guaranteed by democratic society to each and every citizen.
• Another reason to separate religion from the state in democratic societies is to protect the freedom of individual practice to embrace and to have the freedom to adopt any religious teaching.
