Swizerland isn`t secular.
It is a very federal goverment, the 26 states (Kantone) are practicaly autonomous and determine their own constitution by themselves, including the seperation of religion and state.
Article 15 of the federal constitution may guarantee the freedom for and of religion in Swizerland, but the states can make decisions independently.
I am not sure in which ones, but in some states (Kantone) religion and state is not seperated in Swizerland. I think in Uri for example, but I am not sure.
