Collective wisdom is used to make rules and laws. If you don’t use collective wisdom to make rules and laws you end up following someone’s personal, religious, or racist agendas.

A secular system does not mean you don’t use collective wisdom. It just means this collective wisdom should not be motivated by someone’s religious or personal agendas. Restricting the use of tobacco in public places is a recent example of using collective wisdom to make rules to safeguard people in general from the hazards of second hand smoke. Rules are made and implemented using state authority to ensure the interest of people in general. In a secular society these rules are not religiously motivated, and the main focus is to safeguard their interest without taking away the essential liberties from people.

Actually no it doesn’t. None of that is true. Secular is defined as the absence of religion from state. It has nothing to do with collective wisdom, or personal agendas. It is the absence of religion in government affairs.
