Secularism is a political movement which promotes the separation of church and state. Secularists are not necessarily atheists - many are in fact religious - but they share the common belief that religion should not play a part in government policies. There are many state issues which secularists believe religion is too instrumental in shaping, for example abortion laws and education policies. Secularism also asserts the principle that people have the right to live in a state which protects freedom of religion while at the same time ensuring that religion is not imposed or enforced upon the public.
