Solution

  • Secularism is a doctrine that opposes any form of religious and intra-religious domination. It does not oppose religion itself.

  • Secularism cannot be equated with religious tolerance as tolerance may be compatible with religious domination by one group.

  • However, religious tolerance is one of the components of secularism.
