What is Secularism? 3 types of secularism: political, philosophical, socio-cultural.

Can you wear a cross, or any other religious symbol if you work in a public library? Well, it depends on what country you live in. Secularism comes in different shapes. The term ‘secularism’, similarly to the term ‘religion’, is broad and has many definitions. These definitions relate and have similar roots but describe different processes. For example, an expert on this question Dr. Phil Zuckerman suggests dividing secularism into three main types: 1) political 2) philosophical and 3) socio-cultural. He describes it as three branches of the same tree. In short, political secularism is about the separation of Church and State. Philosophical secularism refers to a worldview free of superstition that also seeks to debunk religious claims and reduce the influence of religion. Socio-cultural secularism is about the process of secularization when we see how religion is losing its authority in people’s day-to-day life.

    So, if I've got this right, political secularism is the separation of Church and State, whereas philosophical secularism can be viewed as separation of Religion and Philosophy. We then might as well describe sociocultural secularism as a separation of Religiosity and Community.

    5:09 Secularism is not synonymous with naturalism, because it just only deals with not being a part of any particular religion. However, a secular person can still subscribe to new-age mysticism. So it does seem to me that what you're referring to is "humanism", because humanism is the non-theistic ideology that places emphasis on human beings without any reference to the supernatural.

    Thank you for sharing your thoughts. humanism today is understood very narrowly. Secular could be very broad and even religious people could be secular, depends what you mean.
