AI overview
Secularism is the principle of organizing human affairs—particularly government and public institutions—based on naturalistic reasoning rather than religious belief, which typically means keeping religion and state separate. It matters because it shapes how societies make laws, conduct education, and handle public policy, with supporters arguing it ensures fair treatment regardless of individual religious beliefs.
