Summary

The study seeks to provide an approach to the problem of the relationship between religion and politics, without siding with either of them. It addresses the reasons behind the misunderstanding associated with dealing with this problem, discusses some prevailing perceptions about secularism, and suggests a new definition of secularism and a more comprehensive classification of its various manifestations.
