The main idea of Secular History is a man’s destiny to the future evolution of earth. 1933, humanist were positively looking forward to the potential future human race. Looking back on Secularism they cannot see why it was looked at so optimistically. The separation of religion and politics.
The major tenets of Islamic Belief are the five pillars of Islam. FIVE PILLARS OF ISLAM: ◦ Belief ◦ Worship ◦ Charitable giving ◦ Fasting during the month of Ramadan ◦ The pilgrimage to Mecca

In Afghanistan there are multiple ethnic groups. There are small villages, some have no schools, stores, or city government. Most houses are made with mud-bricks. Baggy trousers is the traditional attire. Most diets consist of Nan bread, soups, fruits and vegetables. Sometimes rice and meats. Jobs in the villages consist of work in fields and harvesting.
Islam affects the peoples everyday lives in Afghanistan because prayer is a very important thing. Most people revolve their days around their pray schedules with the sun. Depending on where you live in villages depends on if you have a religious or nonreligious job. Some cites don’t have city government therefore, there might not be completely controlled.
