Secular Zionism is based on kefira. They deny that the golus and the punishments are min Ha’Shamaim. They say it is all derech ha’teva. And that they can save the Jews by having a strong army and a medina (which is also silly in addition to the apikorsus). And they say that the golus could have been prevented by having a strong army and a strong medinah (shoitim!!).

You are correct , but religious zionists would disagree with you.
So , even though the secular were the majority, nevertheless , one could be a Zionist without accepting all these divrei minus.
