Secular humanism emphasizes ethical principles and justice, and that morality comes from human nature and societal needs. That science and reason determine morality not a God,gods, or religious systems. Duty to man and the planet under a utilitarian framework is the best way to go! However, a society like this hasn't ever existed nor can it exist. I will list studies showing that religion permeates all societies. That man is essentially a religious animal seeking the Divine all the way from primitive huntergather Neanderthals to present day Southern Baptist Preachers. Most importantly abolishing religion and God is literally counterproductive.
Humans are religious animals. If you abolish religion from society people in society with the inclination of desire for the unknown and seeking ultimate purpose will in turn lead them back to starting a religion. Therefore, it is counterproductive to strive for a secular society with citizens who not only want religion but demand it in their nature to psychologically be drawn to the idea of Transcendence and God.
