Laicism or religious rationalism refers to the policies and principles where the state plays a more active role in excluding religious visibility from the public domain.^[1] The term laïcité was coined in 1871 by French educator and later Nobel Peace Prize laureate Ferdinand Buisson, who advocated a religion-free school curriculum. Secularism in France has been described to be laicist in its form.^[2]
