Secular
This is an old revision of this page, as edited by SamSamson (talk | contribs) at 16:53, October 12, 2008. It may differ significantly from current revision.
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 is euphemistically used by atheists who do not want to admit how they sneakily impose their belief system in public institutions.
