'Secularism' is the belief that society were best arranged such that religion were given no sort of special status or authority, so that (for example) the dreams of one of my shepherd ancestors attributed to their chief god would not (absent anything else) be treated by unembarrassed adults as acceptable evidence in a court of law or a good basis for legislation.
'Secularisation' is the process of secularism's becoming significantly more important in society.
Note that neither implies or urges the persecution of religion, but some of a religious bent consider secularisation to be persecution to the extent that it strips from religion---or, more usually, their particular faith---privileges previously enjoyed but which a secularist would consider undue, much as a deposed king might consider it persecution to civil rights merely equal to those enjoyed by any other citizen.
In short
Secularisation is the transformation of a society from close identification with religious values

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

Secularism is the principle of separating government institutions and religion, while pluralism refers to the coexistence of multiple groups in society with diverse beliefs or backgrounds. Secularism focuses on the neutrality of the state towards religion, while pluralism emphasizes the acceptance and recognition of diversity within society.
Secularism is the principle of separation between religion and the state, ensuring that religious beliefs do not influence government policies. Communism, on the other hand, is a socio-political ideology that advocates for the collective ownership of the means of production and the elimination of social classes, aiming to create a classless society. While secularism focuses on the relationship between religion and the state, communism primarily addresses economic and social structures.
No. There is no relationship between the two.
American secularism is characterized by a strict separation of church and state, ensuring that religious institutions do not influence government policies and vice versa. In contrast, Indian secularism recognizes the coexistence of multiple religions and promotes equal respect for all faiths, allowing the state to engage with religion in a way that supports social harmony. While American secularism prioritizes individual rights and freedoms from religious influence, Indian secularism aims to embrace and accommodate the diverse religious landscape of the country. This fundamental difference reflects each nation's historical context and approach to governance and religious pluralism.
Maybe the all of the dfferences come back to secularization and the relation between religion and world. In Islamic political philosophy, there is an emphasis on the role of religious authorities and on the succession of government according to Divine Laws and Religion. However, in Western political philosophy, since there is seculrization between religion and world, secularism becomes the foundation for these philosophies, albeit not all of them, but most of them, presupposing such a theme. In better words, the difference between them stems from the interference of religion in worldy affairs like government.
in Indian secularism the govt. can interfere btw the matters of the people although there is sepration of religion from state.in us securlarism govt. cannot interfere in any case.
Secularism is found in countries where there is a separation between government institutions and religious organizations, allowing for freedom of religion and belief. It is often enshrined in the constitution and is prevalent in countries like France, the United States, and India.
Secularism refers to the separation of religion from government institutions and decision-making processes, promoting a neutral stance regarding religious beliefs. Individualism, on the other hand, emphasizes the importance of individual rights, freedoms, and autonomy, prioritizing personal independence and self-reliance over collective or group interests.
