It was once pakistan and majority were muslims .
Yes it was and its still a muslim majority country .
You are an educated and fluent English speaker who lives in an upper class urban environment, so you are an outlier and do not represent or speak for most people in your country. And not every damn thing in life is learned from a school, people pick up ideals and beliefs from what they hear from their parents, friends, media, religious teachers, etc. If the idea of India was "unity" like you claim then people wouldn't vote in political parties based on religion and religious extremist organisations wouldn't have widespread following and influence in the country. Pakistan never had to pretend to be secular or put on a facade of tolerance and unity.
I think this also largely depends on how you interpret the question.
Very true , our schools emphasise on secular education .
are you irani or bharati? no one killed any hindu in East Pakistan during partition in 47 though some were killed in 71 most of whom were indian infilterators
try being a molvi in BD and if you are not hung or crushed by the head for being pro pakistan, come back and post here
What use is the education system if most kids are taught hatred from birth by their parents, elders, or media channels? what kids are taught in schools dont permanently stick or have as much of an influence on them as ideals reinforced by people they hold dear to them (parents, friends, etc.) or state propaganda. When hatred or discrimination in a society is cultural, no amount of secular education can change things.

Yes, it's a largely unrealistic question just to gauge how religious society is. I value both Pakistan and Islam. To me they are both equal in their own sense.
B'deshis are a lot, lot more relgious in thier daily life than most Pakistanis - that's something I have noticed in diaspora and I was lk surprised
