[[Secularism]]
The term [[secular]] is generally used to mean "worldly, as differentiated from ecclesiastical." The term has changed meaning dramatically over time. Its original definition preserved its Latin meaning - "of an age" - as evinced in the ''Secular Games'', or the ''Carmen Secularae'' ("Song of the Augustan Age") by Horace.
The term may be a euphemism used by [[atheists]], since atheism generally has negative associations in the [[United States]].
