It matters because most parents or people want their children or themselves to learn the ways of what they believe. For instance I went to a Christian school. It was important for me to learn about God so I can learn to follow him and be a more godly person. I guess it really depends on what religion you are.
so chidren and adults can understand the meaning of other peoples religions.
I dont think that there is much importance for secularism in a multi religious country
The cornerstone of India's secularism is: · HUMANISM: An outlook or system of thought attaching prime importance to human rather than divine or supernatural matters. It refers to the mutual understanding of the citizens. RELIGIOUS TOLERANCE: Religious tolerance is the condition of accepting or permitting others' religious beliefs and practices which disagree with one's own.
The principles of secularism (a view that public education and other matters of civil policy should be conducted without the introduction of a religious element) are written in the French fundamental law. For religious schools (which are all private), it is not allowed to make religious education compulsory.
secularism
Michael Schmid has written: 'Christen und Muslime in der Schule' -- subject(s): Islam and secularism, Study and teaching, Multicultural education, Muslim students, Religious aspects, Religious education, Christianity and other religions
non secular is all about religious aspects, and secular is not. ex. Christmas is a religious holiday so it is non secular, and pi day is not so it is secular
The Reformation
Gathering of family and friends without religious connotation.
a doctrine that rejects religion and religious considerations
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.
so there is no favoritism to any religious group
Each philosophy deemphasized the importance of religion.
