The Iraqi Secular Project

“Redefining Iraq’s Future – A Vision of Secularism, Progress, and Freedom”

Iraq stands at a historic crossroads—between the remnants of outdated ideologies and the promise of a future built on secularism, democracy, and progress. The Iraqi Secular Project is more than a movement; it is a bold redefinition of Iraq’s identity and destiny. We champion the absolute separation of religion and state, a modern and dynamic economy, and an inclusive national identity rooted in Mesopotamian heritage. Our vision is clear: a free, sovereign Iraq that thrives through innovation, pluralism, and strong alliances with the democratic world. This is the foundation for true prosperity, stability, and global integration.

The path forward begins now.

Together, we forge a new Iraq—a nation rooted in sovereignty, secularism, and peace.”
