Secularism is merely official neutrality on the part of the political structure of a country as regards religion. It doesn't imply that the country is areligious. It is the best deal for everyone concerned.
Problem is for huggies nappies here is that he automatically equates 'secular' to mean 'atheist'. He even hints a few pages back that he thinks secularism is an 'atheist agenda', despite the fact that secularism was and is a christian idea put into practice in Europe in the 17th century.
He also ignores the fact that, whilst neither I nor anyone else here has said that 'secularism = happiness', it is impossible to look at the most prosperous and often 'happiest' countries in the world and not see the correlation to the implementation of secularism.
He keeps blathering on about 'freedom of choice', despite the fact that that is EXACTLY what secularism is. Preventing the state from imposing (non)-religion on you.
Honestly, I've lost count of the number of absurd illogical claims made by huggies that have been demolished on this thread.
