Solution

If you are not religious, then you do not believe in God. Communalism is a social phenomenon rooted in the barbarous attitudes of certain religious communities. These attitudes and practices have a negative impact on the social system and the relationships between different religious communities.

As a result, you should also be concerned with communalism in order to bring about social harmony. Secularism means that there is no state religion; instead, the state respects all religions equally. So, whether you are religious or not, you should be concerned about secularism to ensure that no religion is favoured or discriminated against. It will help to keep the country’s environment healthy.
