Introduction to philosophy: Quite literally, the term "philosophy" means, "love of wisdom." In a broad sense, philosophy is an activity people undertake when they seek to understand fundamental truths about themselves, the world in which they live, and their relationships to the world and to each other.

Secularism: the separation of religion from civil affairs and the state and may be broadened to a similar position seeking to remove or to minimize the role of religion in any public sphere.

Scholars identify several variations of political secularism in society. The strictest form, associated with the French laique model, advocates a state that is both firmly and officially distanced all religions and non-religious philosophical convictions in all of its manifestations and official dealings, without exception. A more "humanistic" form is indifferent towards religions per se but also advocates for the states to operate on purely a rational basis of evidence-based policy and a focus on human needs and welfare, entailing non-discrimination between peoples of differing religions and non-religious philosophical convictions throughout society. A third "liberal" or "pillarized" form of secularism holds that governments may in some instances express sympathy to, provide funding to, license state services to, or otherwise allow unique special treatment of religions (common in German-speaking and Benelux secular states), so long as states nevertheless treat these convictions equally, and are neither hostile nor preferential towards any particular set of religious and those of non-religious philosophical convictions such as humanists. There are distinct traditions of secularism in the West, like the French, Benelux-German, Turkish, and American models, and beyond, as in India, where the emphasis is more on equality before law and state neutrality rather than blanket separation. The purposes and arguments in support of secularism vary widely, ranging from assertions that it is a crucial element of modernization, or that religion and traditional values are backward and divisive, to the claim that it is the only guarantor of free religious exercise.

From my own point of view , I think the idea of secularism should be supported and clarified because we should know the humanist idea of it not like happening in iran and Pakistan when they have placed anti-secularism and technological messianism at the basis of their political ideology.and the Marxist secularism as radical secularism is going to be the roots of humanity itself.and I supported this idea because it based on the values because of the importance of belifes ,traditions,customs,and principles that individuals should have in society and to be able to have the correct ,accurant and clarify meaning of secularism to be learned to new generations especially in the next centuries and the technology played an important role in learning new generations but it’s not necessary to be correct and clear information and because of the huge quantity of information in the internet and unrealiable resources the people always have the misunderstanding and confusion of their thoughts and beliefs.so that they must used realiable and have the communication skills to get information easily .
