The whole idea of a secular country started in Christian countries, and was made ideologically possible by the fact that the Church did not establish itself as a government, but as separate from the government.

Where on earth did you study history? From the conversion of Constantine on Christianity was a State church, and it did not give up its hold on State power voluntarily. The idea of a separate church and state did evolve in Christian countries, but not because of anything the Christian churches did. The churches opposed the process at every step, and power had to be forcibly pried out of their hands.
