Now, a popular rhetoric against this is that the country was based on four pillars, and one of those pillars was secularism. For a proper democratic system to function, a nation needs to supply citizens that are open to the core ideals of democracy themselves. This is a tall demand, but without this, I don’t see any way for a pure democracy to work. While it is not a final solution, it is something that would give us more time to get there. The days are dark, and from the looks of it, the future isn’t looking too bright either.
