Secularism means that believing or not believing is a private matter for every individual person and women and men shall not be asked to identify themselves in public work through their religious affiliation. That is hardly a case in Croatia, especially among public personalities and office holders. Six-feet long candles carried by politicians are unavoidable sight at religious processions. The Sabor pulpit often turns into a preacher's pulpit used to put emphasis on MP's personal Catholicism as an argument in favour of legislative decisions. Politicians, decorated with crosses and crucifixes eagerly, and with full media entourage, celebrate religious holidays and try to fit into the framework provided in the instruction of the ruling Church.
