Intra-religious domination
- An inherent part of the human experience is the sense of loss and isolation.
- Philosophy, art, and religion are reactions to certain pains. It is not anti-religious to be secular.
- When religion is rationalised, its more orthodox adherents frequently seize control of it.
- In several US states, religious fanaticism has become a major issue.
Numerous religions fragment, which occasionally results in sectarian bloodshed and the mistreatment of those who disagree. - Many religions break up into small pieces, leading to periodic sectarian violence and maltreatment of dissenting minorities.
- Inter-religious supremacy is not the only indicator of religious dominance. It requires another important structure, most notably the subjugation of people within the same religion. Secularism challenges both intra- and interreligious dominance because it rejects all forms of institutionalized religious power.
Secular State| Class 11 Polity Notes
Secular State: This standardizing worldview aims to create a secular society devoid of both intra- and interreligious dominance. It creates equality and freedom both inside and across religions. A state that upholds the principles of secularism must continue to enforce certain laws about religion and religious groups.
