1 / -0

Why does secularism is not inherently opposed to religion?

Because secularism advocates for the elimination of all forms of human suffering.

Because secularism believes that only science and technology can alleviate human suffering.

Solution

Separation and loss are endemic to the human condition. While a large part of our suffering is man-made and hence eliminable, at least some of our suffering is not made by man. Religion, art and philosophy are responses to such sufferings. Secularism too accepts this and therefore it is not anti-religious.
