Almost by definition, secularism cannot be a future: it's a present-tense culture that over time disconnects a society from cross-generational purpose. Which is why there are no examples of sustained atheist civilizations.

Post-Christian European culture is already post-cultural and, with its surging Muslim populations, will soon be post-European.
