In as much as what is known as Secularism works to the end of de-sacralizing and so profaning the public square in that much what is known as Secularism is a Unitarian movement. If there is no room for the sacred in the public square then all that is left is for everything is the public square to be profane. If everything is profane then everything can be treated without regard, honor, or respect. At that point everything is the seen as the same. The heterosexual is the same as the homosexual is the same as the Transsexual, is the same as the Pedophile, is the same as the Necrophiliac. If the public realm is ONLY secular then the public realm becomes by default Unitarian because the loss of the ability to distinguish between profane and sacred in the public realm implies the loss of making value judgments about anything.
And so, that which is known as secularism feeds egalitarianism as egalitarianism feeds secularism as they together reciprocally support the monism of Unitarianism.
One more lap here. If the goal in what is called secularism is really about eliminating the privileged position of the once hegemonic Christianity then what has to be eliminated as well are those who have historically been the carriers of Christianity. Secularism can not eliminate the idea of Biblical Christianity without eliminating the concrete White Anglo Saxon Christians who have been those who have been the carriers of civiliational Christianity. One requires the other. Just as one does not eliminate the disease of the bubonic plague without eliminating the rats that carried the disease so secularism can not eliminate Biblical Christianity without eliminating the civilizational carriers of Biblical Christianity.
There are those who get the first point here that “religious secularism” implies the elimination of hegemonic Christianity but they void their bowels over tying the work of religious secularism with the elimination of hegemonic Christianity as necessarily implying the elimination of White Anglo Saxon Christians. In my estimation that fear is because religious secularism has already done more than half of its necessary work.
