There are different forms of "secularism." In Finland the government collects taxes on behalf of the Protestant church. The government in Germany does the same for different Christian denominations/religions but does not consider others a religion like the Church of Scientology and even targets and surveils them like a terrorist group. So I am not sure if I could call these countries secular.
