I wouldn't say that everybody does equally well in totally secular environments. There has to be a period of adjustment, a period of accustomization. And I think typical secular environments don't have that. While they think there should be accustomization for some groups, evidently it's not for others.
This, I think reflects the bias inherent in typical secular environments.
And why "should" it be there? Some groups get accustomed easily because their values match up with the secular ones. Others don't because theirs' don't. If secular environments had that period of adjustment for some groups, then that would suggest bias in favor of those groups. You can't be biased for doing nothing.
By not favoring adjustments they are being biased.
I mean why have a situation where some people, for no fault of their own struggle to get to grips? They didn't choose for it to be so difficult. They were born into their own culture and religion.
I think this shows quite clearly how secularism is unfair.
