What is Secularism?

• Secularism is, by definition, the affirmation of this


world and the rejection of the next. It is historically
rooted in a materialism that denies the existence of
God, the angels, the soul and the afterlife. Its
fundamental "this-worldliness" is the source of
secularism’s antagonism to the Church.
• Pope Benedict XVI
