Does secularism have a sacred writing?

Yes and no. Secularism implies the absence of discrimination or bias against any religious groups, and in this way can be inclusive of all religious groups (and include atheist and agnostic beliefs, for which there are no sacred writings). By being inclusive of all religious groups, secularism can be seen as accepting all sacred writings as equally valid, without necessarily accepting any to be true.

What characteristic do Abrahamic religions have in common?

There are five major Abrahamic religions in the world today: Judaism, Christianity, Islam, the Baha'i Faith, and The Church of Latter Day Saints (Mormonism) which considers itself to be a subset of Christianity. Of these five traditions only two, Judaism and Christianity, share any sacred texts in common: Judaism's Tanakh is Christianity's Old Testament. Islam considers the Qur'an and the various biographies of the prophet Muhammed to be its core sacred texts. Baha'i takes the writings of its prophet Baha'u'llah to be its core sacred texts. And The Church of Latter Day Saints considers the Book of Mormon to be its primary sacred text.


How many sacred places are there in the world?

There is only one, but it is VERY big. __________________ It would depend on how you define "sacred". If you were a moderate adherent of any of the three great world religions of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, you might share common ideas of which places are sacred. If you were a member of a radical sect of any of those religions, you might consider the purportedly sacred places of the other two to be profane. Secular persons or those with religious or spiritual views differing from those of the big three religions might consider all places everywhere sacred, or only certain places, based on such widely varying and even conflicting criteria that the word "sacred" can have no functional meaning for this question. Even if one were to be specific and ask, "How many sacred places are there, according to Islam?" it would be very difficult to give an exact answer, as varying sectarian belief would differ on which sites are sacred. This would apply to any religion, not just the big three religions. The only meaningful operational definition of "sacred" is "whatever you personally, or you and your co-believers as a group deem sacred". Unfortunately, using that definition, the question itself becomes one that only you personally, or you and your co-believers as a group, can answer for yourselves: "How many places in the world do I/we deem sacred?"

What is the Pentateuch an example of?
