secular state

A secular state is a government that maintains independence from any particular religion, ensuring that religious beliefs do not influence laws, policies, or public institutions. In such a state, all citizens, regardless of their faith or belief system, are treated equally under the law. The goal is to promote religious neutrality, protect freedom of religion, and create an environment where diverse beliefs coexist peacefully without favor or discrimination. This separation helps prevent religious conflicts and ensures that government decisions are made based on secular principles and common civics rather than religious doctrines.
