Abstract

The issue of secularism, which was founded by M. Luther in history and is still recognized as one of the topics of discussion, is becoming increasingly important, especially in a period of increasing weight and place of religion in world politics. This article examined the basic definition and meaning of the concept of secularism, which is the main guarantee of the stability and development of the country, as well as the principles of secularity in world practice. The researchers conducted a comprehensive analysis of the nature of secularism, based on foreign scientific data and conclusions, as well as domestic scientists on this topic. Contrary to the definitions of secularism given by people with non-traditional religious worldviews, explanations were given that secularism is not atheism. The main purpose of the study is to discuss domestic and foreign research, contribute to solving problems, revealing the meaning of secularism based on the mistakes of the past and hope for the future.
