Although many philosophers contributed a lot to promote secular thought among the peoples but George Jacob Holyoake is the first one to provide principles and rules for it and he is the only who promoted the word "secular" as an "ism". That’s why he may be called "Father of Secularism". This article is basically an analysis of principles of secularism written by him in his book "The Principles of Secularism" and tells that how modern secular thought differs from the principles given by Holyoake. It also alight the biography of Holyoake, his thought about religion, hypocritical approach and intentions of modern secular people regarding Islam and Muslims. Its findings tell that secularism, liberalism, humanism is promoting nothing but the atheism.
