It isn't an either-or dichotomy (theocratic or non-theocratic); it's a question of how much you want governance to be based on religion. There are a few cases in which the justification for accepting or rejecting a particular policy is that the policy does/doesn't conform to some religious dogma. Cases regarding gay rights and euthenasia are particularly telling; and it's not so long ago that we had to overturn a law against blasphemy.

What would an "enemy of secularism" be? Somebody who wants to bring back the anti-blasphemy law, for example?
