Secularism refers to a separation of religion from the state and something that is reserved for private matters. It isn't a reflection on how religious or observant a country is. "No religion" is the majority choice on census forms in the UK, but the same parents will actively participate in an annual nativity at school, whereas in a country that practices secularism the idea of a state school holding a religious celebration would likely raise the hackles.

We definitely need to nationalise church landholdings, abolish religious schools, and boot the priests out parliament

It used to be a Christian country. And before the 1500 years it was something else. Right now it's something else.

What?
