The correct answer is Option (4) → Equal respect of all religions

Secularism refers to the principle of separating religion from governmental affairs and public institutions. It advocates for a state that is neutral in matters of religion, where all individuals, regardless of their religious beliefs or affiliations, are treated equally under the law.

Overall, secularism aims to create a society where individuals are free to practice their religion (or choose not to follow any religion) without facing discrimination or persecution, and where the state remains neutral in matters of religion, fostering inclusivity and tolerance among its citizens.
