Solution
My father is a democrat but he is not secularist.
Explanation:
The statement says that all democrats are secularists. 'My father is a democrat but he is not secularist.' which says ‘My father is a democrat but he is not a secularist’ makes the statement false because there is one democrat who is not a secularist. Thus, we can’t say all democrats are secularists.
