Devoid of inter & intra religious dominationPromote freedom within religionEquality between and within religion
Though Jews faced discrimination for centuries throughout Europe, in the present state of Israel, Arab minorities, both Christian and Muslims, are excluded from social, political and economic benefits available to Jewish citizens. Subtle forms of discrimination also continue to persist against non-Christians in several parts of
Europe
Inter-religious Domination
Indian Constitution declares that every Indian citizen has a right to live with freedom and dignity in any part of the country
More than 2,700 Sikhs were massacred in Delhi – 1984
Hindu Kashmiri pandits have been forced to leave their homes in the Kashmir valley
1,000 persons, mostly Muslims, were massacred during the post-Godhra riots in Gujarat in 2002
One community are targeted and victimised on account of their religious identity – basic freedom is denied
Secularism is first and foremost a doctrine that opposes all such forms of inter-religious domination
Secularism opposes inter and intra-religious domination
Mutual enlightenment
Education – reduce prejudice and suspicion towards communities
States have enormous public power – what kind of state is needed to prevent religious conflict and to promote religious harmony
state must not be run by the heads of any particular religion.
A state governed directly by a priestly order is called theocratic. Theocratic states, such as the Papal states of Europe in medieval times or Taliban-controlled state, lacking separation between religious and political institutions, are known for their hierarchies, and oppressions
Non-theocratic states with alliance to religion
state in England in the sixteenth century was not run by a priestly class but clearly favoured the Anglican Church and its members. England had an established Anglican religion, which was the official religion of the state.
Today Pakistan has an official state religion, namely Sunni Islam
