sekularisti

Sekularisti is a term derived from "sekularism," a principle advocating for the separation of state and religious institutions. A sekularisti, therefore, is an individual who supports this principle. They believe that government and public life should operate independently of religious doctrine or influence. This separation is intended to ensure neutrality in governance and protect the rights of individuals with diverse religious or non-religious beliefs.

The core tenets of sekularism, and thus the beliefs of a sekularisti, often include the freedom of religion, which encompasses the freedom to practice one's faith or to have no faith at all. They advocate for public institutions, such as schools and courts, to be secular, meaning they do not promote or endorse any particular religion. This is not necessarily an anti-religious stance, but rather a position that emphasizes the importance of a neutral public sphere where all citizens, regardless of their faith, can participate equally.

Sekularisti movements can vary in their specific goals and approaches. Some focus on the legal separation of church and state, while others may engage in broader social and political advocacy to promote secular values in public discourse and policy-making. The emphasis remains on a society where religious affiliation does not grant special privileges or impose disadvantages.
