Well, that's the basic premise of secularism.  That a theocracy abuses by it's nature, and cannot help but to abuse along whatever lines superstition demands.  That a properly functioning government -for all of a country's people- will prevent this abuse and reject it's claim to legitimacy through legality.  That we can enjoy freedom of and from religion in government.

Do you have these freedoms?  What do you think about them?  Are they worth fighting for, as a person who's seen a religious bent bleed a global society for 50 years?

I didn't say "Islamists" are destructive, I said "Islamic extremists" are:


Is·lam·ist
/ˈizlaməst/

noun

  1. an advocate or supporter of Islamic militancy or fundamentalism.
    "radical Islamists"


adjective

  1. relating to, advocating, or supporting Islamic militancy or fundamentalism.
    "hardline Islamist groups"


Quote:As for secularism, opinions vary so as examples; just like there are Muslim extremists there are also secular extremists.
Tell me, in your opinion, what does it mean to be a secular extremist?  

Quote:Neither Macron nor a Million like him would change the faith I choose.
Secularism has nothing to do with changing your faith.  It protects your faith. This goes directly to the question above, ofc. A secular extremist would be a term for a person who is motivated by and engaged in aggressively securing your freedom of and from religion.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
