A 205 years of the birth of Benito Juárez, it is important to try one of the Mexican state affairs, such as secularism, established in the period of Reform Laws product of the triumph of the liberal movement of 1855, which overthrew Lopez de Santa Anna and his staff, who represented the conservative elements of the time, who gave half of the country in the expansion process of the American empire.
The secular state in Juarez stage, not only redefined the relationship between the clergy of Mexico, based on the rule of law, government of laws, the reform laws, but also guaranteed freedom of religious beliefs, which is founded on the guarantees of liberty and equality rights of Mexicans, who were under the federal Constitution of 1857.
The secular state is only possible to understand from the rights granted by the Constitution and must guarantee the rule, which imposed a libertarian society is beyond the conceptions of fanaticism, of subjection to one idea and belief, which was left behind the colonial legacy of three centuries founded ideologically and materially in church activities, in roles that are typical of the modern state.
The vision of a secular state founded on the libertarian conception and independent from the French invasion, U.S. imperialism, in the legal norms in modern, democratic and Republican.
The secular state is not opposed to religious beliefs, it is not anticlerical. On the contrary, institutional, respectful of any religious belief and of religious profession and worship imposes no dogmas, but also involves a confessional form, which conforms more to the fundamentalist view, which is inclusive of women's rights and fundamental freedoms.
The Mexican government does not lay propped up the extermination of the Catholic religion, but left free to continue its development and performance, without affecting the people and Mexican society. On the contrary, was a policy of State instituted legal in your favor, which protects their freedom on the basis that it can freely determine what religion should be, but without the same impose their beliefs on another or a community.
This aspect is what distinguishes the secular state with anticlerical idea is contrary to any perspective of intolerance, is more like living with the clerical establishment that continues to have interests, not only religious, trying to impose a stream of ideas and concepts, and claims could be economic in nature.
The secular state is founded precisely within the meaning of public education because it recognizes that individual and social life is built on teaching, libertarian ideas, science, culture that make up the language, traditions, customs and history. Article 3 of the Federal Constitution it establishes and the State, therefore, be ensured to safeguard and protect individual interests, unethical and contrary to national life.
The meaning of secularism has been a principle and a lifestyle of modern Mexican society, which is part of the fundamental rights of the twentieth century, which have been ratified again at the beginning of XXI century, with Amendments to the Law of Religious Associations and Public Worship, which was published in the official newspaper of the Federation on August 19, 2010, article third set to the lyrics: "The Mexican state is secular. The same exercise its authority over all religious activity, individually or collectively, only as regards the observance of the Constitution, international treaties ratified by Mexico and other applicable legislation and protection of rights. "
This Similarly, the secular state at the time Juarez was projected until today, in its modern sense, based on freedoms. There is no doubt that the development of a secular state solidly formed since the nineteenth century, which lends substance to the modern Mexican state, far outstripping other religious nation-states. Having become a factor of national unity, social cohesion and defense to the imposition of beliefs.
In short, the secular state has meant freedom of religion, respect for the plurality of beliefs, no imposition of religion, in cooperation with the various religious and living in a democratic and open.
