Atheism and secularism have become increasingly prevalent in today’s society, and thus it is important for us to understand what these terms mean. Atheism is the belief that there is no God or gods, while secularism holds that religion should have no place in public life.
The rise of atheism and secularism has led to a number of debates within society about the role of religion in public life. Some argue that religion should have no place in public life, while others argue that it is essential for religious beliefs to be represented in the public sphere.

We must continue to champion the importance of faith in our personal lives and in the public sphere, and to resist the pressures of a secular culture that seeks to marginalize religion.
