Secularist

Secularism is the principle of conducting human affairs based on naturalistic considerations, uninvolved with religion. It often involves the separation of religion from civil affairs and the state, and may be broadened to minimize the role of religion in any public sphere. There are distinct traditions of secularism, such as the French, Turkish, American, and Indian models, each with varying degrees of emphasis on separating religion from society. Secularism has origins dating back to the ancient world and has been refined through history by religious thinkers. It takes different forms, including political secularism, which encompasses the regulation of religion by a secular state, and can be strict, humanistic, or liberal in its approach.learn more on wikipedia
