== The term sacred used in secular realms ==
The concept of "sacred" can be applied to non-religious parts of a culture, if that culture would find them to be held above all else. In the United States, it could be argued that our the ideas contained in the [[Bill of Rights]] and [[United States Constitution]] are sacred to Americans and should not be changed lightly nor tread upon.
