Tornado Alley (PROG)

Yes, that was the author's thesis which didn't offer a solution.. kinda oil and water not mixing very well but stuck with each other or more intelligently expressed (lol):

Benjamin Berger argues that secularism isn’t the neutral, simple solution it’s often assumed to be. Instead, he says:

Secularism carries its own hidden values, assumptions, and biases, even though it claims to be neutral.

When governments use secularism to manage religious diversity, they often end up reshaping, limiting, or misunderstanding religious expression.

The state’s idea of “acceptable religion” becomes the standard, which can marginalize communities whose practices don’t fit that mold.

As a result, secularism can unintentionally create new conflicts rather than resolving the old ones. (Copilot)
