secularism
Significado: The principle that government and public institutions should be kept separate from religious organisations and beliefs, ensuring that the state operates independently of any faith.
Secularism does not necessarily entail hostility to religion — it may simply advocate for the neutrality of public institutions. France's laïcité is an example of strong secularism, while the UK model is softer, with an established church but broad religious freedom. The term is widely used in political, legal, and sociological contexts. The adjective 'secular' also means worldly or non-religious in a general sense.
