It's kind of needed to, among other things, keep different groups from killing each other over how they worship the same person. It either needs to be separate, or encompass all religions.
I mean state-sponsored secularism as opposed to secularism. AKA a state that promotes secularism with the same veracity as a state-sponsored religion, aka what you saw in several nations in the 20th century except, unlike religion, they lacked an air of legitimacy. That lack of legitimacy that is more easily generated by religious doctrine was replaced by fear, fear garnered by mass executions never seen prior. Seems a fear of eternal damnation keeps people in check.
You are talking nonsense. A state is either secular or not; there is nothing to 'sponsor'.
You seem to be confusing secularism with atheism. They are not the same - they are hardly even related.
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
