In public life or on social media, you’ve probably heard the term ‘secular’ before. Originating in Ancient Greece, secularism is the idea that religion should be separated from civil affairs and the state, seeking to remove or minimise the role of religion in any public sphere. A secular world view has encouraged societies to promote virtues like freedom of speech and freedom of religion and it has helped stop religious conflicts throughout human history. In this sense, secularism has helped human beings of all religious groups to look past their theological differences and instead, recognise each other’s humanity.
That being said, secularism still contains a lot of faults. Religion has, for the most part, been pivotal in providing meaning in people’s lives and secularism wants to minimise it and in some cases, throw it all away. In this video, we will look into what secularism is, its contributions to society and the problems with it in the 21st century. I hope you enjoy this video and You’re watching All Things Humanities.
