Not true....Secularism is not religiously neutral....it stems from the notion that either there's no God , or if there's , he should mind his own business and let what to cesar to cesar
I don't see this as true at all. America the first secular government in modern times. Many of the our founding fathers were very religious. The reason for the ideology was to protect freedom of thought, and the rights of the minority. I can not think of one Atheist among our founding fathers. So it is clear that there intent was not to keep religion out of the homes of humanity.
I believe that if you look at the modern concept of the nation state the best way to corrupt both religion and the state is to have a state run ideology. Whether it is atheism of the Soviet Union and China, Islam in Iran and Pakistan, Christianity of the Serbs or Hinduism of Nepal. This has only lead to the suffering of the religious minority groups.
Secularism is not perfect but it's the best system we have.
