Secularism in Muslim-majority countries

Secularism in Muslim-majority countries refers to the separation of religion from government institutions, ensuring that religious beliefs do not directly influence laws and policies. It aims to create a neutral space where citizens of diverse beliefs can coexist equally, respecting individual rights and freedoms. While some Muslim-majority nations adopt secular principles to promote modernization and civil liberties, others maintain a closer link between religion and state. The degree of secularism varies widely, reflecting cultural, political, and historical differences within each country. Overall, it seeks to balance religious diversity with governance based on secular laws.
