It is said that atheism is not same as secularism, and atheism is not same as humanism. Practically, there is link between secularism and so-called humanism as most of the secularists use the term humanism as a tool to spread secularism. I think there is a positive correlation between secularism and atheism and secularism and atheism will be going hand in hand in future.

If there is no link between secularism and atheism, then why all the secular countries have higher rate of adopting atheism?

secularism permits people to pursue whatever ideas of faith appeal to them without fear of persecution. those who can’t come to grips with the illogical aspects of organized religions will often go for mellower interpretations, agnosticism, atheism etc.

also, i find this amusing that you guys have no shame in trying to link atheism with all kinds of things. but when anyone tries to link islam with terrorism, its all defensive blahblah. take a look at other people’s beliefs with the same way as you want yours to be looked at by those outside of it.
