One cannot understand secularism without knowing it sprang from rejection of state religion and is opposed to all religion; even though those who espouse secularism,...secular humanism,...Humanism, claim tolerance, the ultimate goal is the removal of all religious reference in the state and the eradication of religious thought leading to an atheistic populace. Much as The old USSR "communism" and The People's Republic of China espouse.
Secular humanism, or more simply Humanism, specifically looks to replace religious thought with science and, as they call it, "rational thinking", as they have rejected faith in the supernatural as irrational.
Online Etymology Dictionary
secular (adj.) Look up secular at Dictionary.com
c. 1300, "living in the world, not belonging to a religious order," also "belonging to the state,"
From Old French seculer (Modern French séculier), from Late Latin saecularis "worldly, secular, pertaining to a generation or age," from Latin saecularis "of an age, occurring once in an age," from saeculum "age, span of time, generation."
Also, "saecularis" the pertaining to a worldly age or span of time within the world, as opposed to time with regard to the spiritual world of the gods, or later, God. Worldly things as opposed to otherworldly.
Governance of the people (the state) without a basis in religiosity, but "tolerating as required" religion in public.
Sadly, one of the links between secularism and religion is secularism's growing ill regard bordering on, and often crossing into, enmity toward those of faith. Which will push for no religiosity in public, then none at all, even in private. The prevalance of Secularity is the goal.
So much for this. Bye.
