A secular person doesn’t owe his moral values to any religion. He follows the lead of humanism which is a form of religion for that particular secular person. Believe it or not, but we all believe in secularism in some sort of way apart from people who are blindfolded and believe in superstition in many countries

“Pre-modern vs. Modern Revivalists” Globalization, among other factors, introduced turbulence in the Muslim world. As such, there have been cases in Muslim countries where political and social movements began to arise in a form of revival to strengthen or bring back Islamic philosophy in such countries.
