Who is arguing against it. Secular is defined as absence of religion from state affairs while giving complete freedom to individuals to follow their religious orientation. Secular system is not against using collective wisdom to safeguard the interest of the people. It is just against making rules based on religious doctrines of a particular religious group. Secular system ensures essential personal liberties, but not to an extent when society at large suffers from these liberties. I gave you the examples of laws against drunk driving and smoking at public places in secular states..

That is exactly whats wrong with all of this. Secular government does not equal Western Democracy models. Secularism is simply absence of religion. Secular government does not mean:

1. You can or can not drink alcohol.
2. It does not mean that collective wisdom is used.
3. It does not mean drugs or legal or illegal.
4. It does not mean smoking is illegal or not.

Those are all examples of western laws. Not secular laws.

It simply means religion is not a base for making decisions in the matters of state. It does not ensure personal liberties at all. If that was the case the actions of France and Switzerland would not be allowed.
