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