What is the objective, or what are the objectives? There is no single answer. Basically, if you eliminate religion, you eliminate morality and human rights. Those in power will do whateverthey can to stay in power. Worst case - Nazi Germany. "Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men, even when they exercise influence and not authority."
[1887 LD. Acton Letter in Life & Letters of Mandel Creighton (1904) I. xiii.]
A religious state can be just as bad. Examples: extremist Islam (Iran, Saudi Arabia), India - Hindu and the treatment of the Dalits (Untouchables).
In the United States of America we have freedom OF (not from) religion thanks to our founding fathers. God and Judeo-Christianity is basic to the fabric and morality of the country without imposing it on anyone. As such, the US is a secular state. What is the objective of the government? Answer: The greater good of all the people of the country and, when possible, the rest of the world.

What does secular mean and what makes turkey secular?
The idea of secular state was shaped into Turkish culture by Ataturk. A secular state is a concept of secularism, where a state or countryis neutral in matters of religion, supporting neither religion nor irreligion. A secular state also claims to treat all its citizens equally regardless of religion, and claims to avoid privileged treatment for a citizen from a particular religion/nonreligion over another. Secular states do not have a state religion or equivalent, although the absence of a state religion does not make a state secular. A minority of secular, communistnations have historically enforced the significance of the concept, state atheism, on their populations by way of religious censorship and persecution. However this continuity was changed when the Democrat Party made a push towards Islamic culture.
