Secularists say: ‘Secularism/atheism is not a religion’. But secularism is ‘the belief’ that religion, religious bodies, the Higher, World Two should have no part in political or civic affairs or in running public institutions, especially schools’.

Secularism: exclusion of religion from public affairs: the belief that religion and religious bodies should have no part in political or civic affairs or in running public institutions, especially schools
Encarta Dictionary: English (North America
The operational word in the definition of secularism is ‘belief’.
While the operational word in the definition of a ‘theist’ is also ‘belief’, it is also true no theist would suggest the consideration of God in public affairs and civic affairs be totally excluded.
The very fundamental concept of one of the most influential free governments of the world specifically states the rights of the individual are granted by their Creator and thus cannot rationally be removed by humans in society since the right to ‘life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness’ was not granted by any physical beings.
Atheists/secularists/relative truth advocates would say: ‘It is only theists who are religious.’ Atheists would say the belief in nothing, the belief in a non-existence, is not rational. Note the word ‘belief’ used by the atheist. Atheists use a double standard. Atheist yell: ‘Prove there is a God, prove there is a Creator, and prove there is a ‘First Cause’.’
The theist then cowers and says: ‘We cannot ‘prove’ God exists.’ Rather than concede they cannot prove there is a God the theist should simply reply: ‘Prove there is not a God.’
The atheist will reply: ‘One cannot prove a negative’ and then presume they have won the debate completely ignoring the fact they began the debate with the negative statement: God does not exist.
What does this seeming digression into the discussion of non-existence have to do with level 4?
Level 4 is the first ‘location’, the first state of experiencing existence other than the physical.
