secularism and religious pluralism
Secularism refers to the concept and belief in the separation of religion and state, where the government remains neutral in matters of religion and treats all individuals, regardless of their religious beliefs or non-beliefs, equally. It ensures that religious institutions don't have undue influence on state affairs and that citizens have the freedom to practice any religion or none at all. Religious pluralism, on the other hand, is the acceptance and recognition of diverse religious beliefs and practices within a society. It acknowledges the existence of multiple religions and encourages mutual respect, tolerance, and peaceful coexistence among different religious communities. It promotes the idea that no single religion should dominate or exclude others, fostering an inclusive and diverse society.
