Religious minority representation refers to the inclusion and participation of individuals from religious groups that are in the numerical minority within a country's population in the political process.
Majority Rule: Majority rule is a principle that states decisions should be made by the majority of people, often through voting. It contrasts with religious minority representation as it focuses on the preferences and interests of the larger religious groups.
Secularism: Secularism refers to the separation of religion from government affairs. It aims to create a neutral space where all religions are treated equally, regardless of their size or popularity.
Affirmative Action: Affirmative action is a policy aimed at promoting equal opportunities for historically disadvantaged groups, including religious minorities. It seeks to address past discrimination by providing preferential treatment in areas such as education or employment.
