Correction request for East Timor as a secular state from the incorrect classification as an ambiguous state in the File:Secular States Map.svg

Hello.

Can you correct East Timor as a secular state in the File:Secular States Map.svg, because Section 1 of Section (Article) 45 in the East Timorese Constitution, specifically states that "...religion and worship and the religious denominations are separated from the State." which explicitly classifies East Timor as secular state (and not an ambiguous one)?

Classification of Somalia

Somalia has an official state religion which is Sunni Islam . According to the Pew Research Center , 99.8% of Somalia's population is Muslim.

Pacific Islands

The Pacific Island states are all grey on this map. None of them has an established state religion. They tend to promote Christian conservative values, but without reference to a specific church, and their constitutions recognise freedom of religion. Does that characterise them as "ambiguous"?

Inaccurate for Canada

Canada does not qualify as a secular nation. Our Charter of Rights and Freedoms (for some reason, I cannot link [[]] to this Wikipedia page) explicitly lays out Wikipedia Preamble_to_the_Canadian_Charter_of_Rights_and_Freedoms that we are under the supremacy God, this is the God of Abrahamic faiths, but more specifically, the God of Christianity. Some Canadians are challenging this, but unfortunately, very few. At best, we should be indicated as ambiguous, grey.--Tallard (talk) 17:51, 23 March 2015 (UTC)

Lebanon

Lebanon has no state religion neither, hence secular state. Please edit map as I am not able to do edit SVG files in the time being. A.h. king (talk) 19:23, 11 September 2015 (UTC)

Norway a secular state?

I'm certain that Norway is no longer a christian state. Though, I'm not educated enough to confirm this and edit the file myself. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 7rst1 (talk • contribs) 10:15, 29 October 2019 (UTC)

Article 2: Our values will remain our Christian and humanist heritage. This Constitution shall ensure democracy, a state based on the rule of law and human rights.

Article 4: The King shall at all times profess the Evangelical-Lutheran religion.

Article 16: All inhabitants of the realm shall have the right to free exercise of their religion. The Church of Norway, an Evangelical-Lutheran church, will remain the Established Church of Norway and will as such be supported by the State. Detailed provisions as to its system will be laid down by law. All religious and belief communities should be supported on equal terms.

These articles are from the constitution of Norway. So long as they remain like this, Norway is not a secular state! Vif12vf/Tiberius (talk) 17:04, 26 August 2022 (UTC)

The whole of the United Kingdom should be red

The whole of the United Kingdom should be in red as technically the Church of England is the official church of the UK. Can someone upload a new version with this change please? Helper201 (talk) 04:13, 22 September 2022 (UTC)

Russia is not a Secular State

Russia has always been united to the Russian Orthodox Church, there was never a church-state separation, its official religion is Orthodoxy.--94.73.49.133 17:11, 4 November 2022 (UTC)
