all religions are equal?

often, it is easy to cross the thin line between the secular and the anti-religious.
secular, to me , is something essentially religiously neutral. i think of it as a situation where religious identity is irrelevant in the immediate context, example shaking hands with someone.
but it is no longer simply secularism to suggest that all religions are equal.
it is a secular state of things when all are given the same rights irrespective of their beliefs, but that does no mean that all religions are equal.
read an interesting article demolishing these apparently secular but actually anti-religious assumptions.
read it here.
chew on it.
