1. Secular humanist
2b. Religious values aren't always rooted in any kind of rational thought. I want my government to use adapting, current, rational scientific logic mixed with secular morals as a justification for laws and policy. I don't think you can govern effectively in an ever changing world when your fundamental rules are by nature unchallengable and thousands of years old.
I also want a goverment that understands that its power is derived from the people it governs, not from some untouchable holy deity. God is by definition absolutely right all of the time and by extension those who proclaim themselves to be god's representatives here on earth act as if they are absolutely right all of the time. If there is on true way, god's way, why even bother with the illusion of democracy?
3. A successful society makes sure all of its members are getting at the very least the essentials of what they need to survive.
It should be democratic.
It should encourage the cultivation of knowledge and compassion rather than excess and selfishness.
The greedy would be recognized for the immature children that they are and would be treated as such.
