Yes in a truely secular freedom of choice would be the ideal, that doesn't mean poor choices should lack consequences though, we have to have at least a minimum of moral understanding so criminal activity would remain just that, although I do believe the defination of criminal activity would contract in a truely secular society since laws against the use of mild intoxicants like cannibus would be repealed while murder robbery rape etc would remain appropriately criminal

Yes. Other beliefs can function freely in secular society. Religious society will prevent free choice, either intentionally, or inadvertantly.

Absolutely. It is what Geoprge W. Bush took away from Iraq, and now it is a total mess. Democracy does not work under religious warfare.
