Describe the main features of secular regimes. How are they different from theocratic regimes?

Some of the characteristic features of secular political systems are as follows:
a) The secular state is not based on any particular religion. This mealis that such a state does not owe any allegiaice to any particular religion. Nor such a political system adheres to tlie principles of a particular theology.
b) Though the secular state does not favour any particular religion, it is not anti religion or irreligious. It cannot be said to non-religious. We cannot call such a state immoral or an atheistic state. Secular states do follow principles that are characteristic of any religion such as truth, non-violence, love, and morality, but they do not align with any particular religion. In other words, a secular state may tie itself to certain universal ethical principles without allowing any particular religion to dictate its policies.
c) A secular state does not bother whether its members belong to this religion or that religion. Primarily conceried with an individual's external life, a secular state does not colicerli itself with religious affiliation of its citizens. Religion is seen as something concerning an individual's internal life, that is, a matter of purely individual and private faith.
d) Separating religion and politics, a secular state treats all religions alike. It does not allow religion to influence political issue. Religion does not impede or interfere in any decision of the state. To that extent, religious discrimination is absent in a secular state.
e) A secular state admits numerous religions under its jurisdiction. It advocates religious harmony, acco~nmodation and co-operation. All religious organisations are accorded equal treatment and are equally respected. To that extent, a secular state is multi-religious state.
f) A secular state by its very nature is a democratic state. It is democratic because it treats individuals as individuals and not as a member of this or that particular faith.

A secular state is the one which do not have any official religion. It gives importance to every religion. While a theocratic state has a official religion.

For e.g., India as a secular state because none of the religion is considered as official.

Middle East Gulf countries as theocratic state as the official religion of most of the middle east Gulf countries is Islam.

Secular regimes can be broadly categorised into two- the liberal and the Marxist. The liberal secular regimes are those which regard religion as a societal resource and allow for individual as well as corporate religious freedom to a greater or lesser extent. Religion in these liberal countries may in practice __________ ________ _______ ______ _________ _____ ________ _________ ____ ________ ________ ______.
