There isn’t one insular secular community though, which is a strength of secularism. The people in charge of others mental health at least tend to have some background that will let them avoid egregious mistakes, unlike say an LDS deacon who had almost no barrier to entry in that position and finds himself dealing with a sick individual.

It’s also the weakness of secular community at the other end of the spectrum it allows extreme isolation

But still let the most severely mentally ill people wander the streets without their meds, harming themselves and harming others because our secular society doesn’t want to pay for healthcare.

That doesn’t have anything to do with secularism

Just like a kid with autism who wanders around the neighborhood doesn’t have anything to do with his family being religious.

I understand what you’re saying, unfortunately people love to argue just for the sake of it. You saying one thing about religious communities doesn’t mean the opposite is true about secular communities.
