Secular aspects in the Middle Ages referred to matters that were not related to the church or religion. This included government affairs, legal systems, and economic activities that were governed by secular authorities rather than ecclesiastical ones. In essence, secularism denoted the separation between church and state during this time period.
In the Middle Ages, politics and religion were deeply intertwined, with the church wielding significant influence over matters of governance and society. Rulers often used religion to legitimize their power and control the population. The era saw frequent conflicts between secular rulers and the church over authority and control.

John Duns Scotus was a Scottish philosopher and theologian from the 13th century. He is known for his work in scholastic philosophy and his development of the doctrine of the Immaculate Conception of the Virgin Mary. Scotus' philosophy focused on the nature of being and knowledge, and he made significant contributions to the fields of metaphysics and theology.
The rise of secular literature in the Middle Ages can be attributed to the developments in vernacular languages and the growing literacy of the urban population. Writers and poets such as Dante Alighieri, Geoffrey Chaucer, and Marie de France contributed to the flourishing of secular literature by creating works that explored themes beyond religious doctrine. This shift towards secular literature also paralleled the emergence of humanism and the revival of classical learning during the period.
The Roman Catholic Church used the Gregorian Chant as their official music during the Middle Ages. Chanting was monotonous and performed by monks but eventually developed a more melodic sound. Masses were sung. The Church did not use musical instruments to accompany the singing because that was associated with Pagan rites. Secular music was extremely popular at that time as was dancing. Both were enjoyed at gatherings. Secular music employed flutes, horns, drums and stringed instruments. Church music and secular music were very different and the Church didn't have much of an influence on secular music during the Middle Ages.

Early in the Middle Ages, there were some secular plays. Then there were plays called Mummings, that combined Christian and pagan elements, and did not adhere to the standards of the Church or authorities. About the tenth century, Miracle Plays and Mystery Plays appeared, and these had Christian themes. Not long after, Morality Plays appeared, and dealt with moral issues from a Christian point of view. In the High Middle Ages and Late Middle Ages, Manners Plays appeared, which were more of a secular nature. There is a link below to an article on Medieval Theater.
