secularism
Secularism is the high art of banishing religious influence from public documents while hiding behind the shield of 'freedom of belief' when needed. The state and religion share a criminal conspiracy of controlling citizens without dirtying their own hands. Citizens who abandon religious ceremonies are rewarded with invitations to the thrilling new sport of political debate. Though they vow to forsake faith, they inevitably find themselves kneeling before the altar of ideology. Celebrating diversity, it nevertheless wields the ultimate rationality to legitimize majority 'common sense'.
