Detailed Solution

The above statement is false.
Secularism is the separation of state power from religion. For a nation to function democratically, this is crucial. More than one religious group will be present in almost every nation on earth. There will probably be one religious group that constitutes the majority within these groups. If the majority religious group has access to state authority, it may use that authority and available funds to discriminate against and persecute members of other faiths. Minorities may face prejudice, coercion, and even murder as a result of this tyranny of the majority. Minorities could not be allowed to practise their faith because of the majority. Any type of religious dominance violates the liberties that a democratic society guarantees.
The correct statement is secularism is the separation of state power from religion.
