Ensuring that the government remains neutral on matters of religion is essential for preventing any single religious group from dominating national policy. Laws should be based on secular reasoning and human rights, rather than religious beliefs.
2. Encourage Civic Nationalism Over Ethno-Religious Nationalism:
Instead of tying national identity to a particular religion, promote a civic nationalism that is inclusive of all citizens, regardless of their background or belief system. Civic nationalism focuses on shared values like inclusion.
A society should safeguard individuals' rights to freely practice their religion (or choose no religion at all) without fear of discrimination or persecution. This includes ensuring that laws are made to respect diverse religious practices and beliefs.
