Yes, however I don't think secularism necessarily means "wise", but I do know that Religious does necessarily mean "unwise".
I am not sure how you in the original question are defining secularism.
"Secularism" is the opposite of "sectarian". "Sectarian" means of a specific sect. "Secularism" is merely the application of pluralism to government neutrality in government law and government venues.
"Secularism" as falsely defined by the right wing fundies in America, means anti-religion. Which is not what secularism is.
www.au.org is a multi-religious organization that promotes secularism. It is not anti-religion. It is pro neutrality and pro pluralism.
If you want examples of what a non-secular government looks like, China is ruled by one sect of political party, and Iran is ruled by one sect of religion.
Secularism is good for society. It is a falsely slandered word and if the idiots who do this lived in China or Iran they would be crying for their mommy to be back under our secular government.

Welcome to the forum.
Yes.
Our revels now are ended. These our actors, | As I foretold you, were all spirits, and | Are melted into air, into thin air; | And, like the baseless fabric of this vision, | The cloud-capped towers, the gorgeous palaces, | The solemn temples, the great globe itself, - Yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve, | And, like this insubstantial pageant faded, | Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff | As dreams are made on, and our little life | Is rounded with a sleep. - Shakespeare
Canada is secular. We have a full blown federal election going on, with no religion involved and no one has noticed, so far. Least of all Americans; why would that be important to America? Well Canada's banking laws {far different then US of A's} is decided by who ever becomes PM of Canada. How does that affect America? Americas banking laws sent American banks into the red and the banks and mortgage co. went belly up, only to be baught up by Canadian banks. Don't believe me; look around your hometowns and see the new logos on your local banks. TDBank, BOM, Scotiabank, HSBC , TDAmeritrade, GMVisa, GMAC..... those are all Canadian Banks. Believe itor not! So if the next generation wants to buy a house in the U.S. of A., eh? Your going to have to get permission from Bay Street (Toronto) by way of Ottawa. Canada is so dull I bet you wont even notice while it happens.
Canada is takeing over so quietly I bet you didn't notice the General in command of NATO forces over Libya is a Canadian 3 star from Quebec, I dare anyone with a world view to name him.

One day a guy was having a presentation about the moral implications of Evolution at school. Of course, I argued with him about that.
I asked him the question whether he would want to live under a secular democracy (a democracy HAS to be secular, unless everybody in the country is in the same sect, so it's kind of a tautology) or a christian theocracy.
He doubted, but eventually chose the theocracy, because he was defending the Bible, and attacking reason.
But I wonder how many Christians would agree with him. We should poll it, or something.

I'm from near Hamilton here, where from?
