It's certainly not a sacred word, so it must be profane (that's what profane means--not sacred). However, many people would say that excrement in any form is not a polite topic for conversation, and "crap" does mean excrement. Impolite or coarse the word may be but it is not a shocking word to most people. It comes, in all likelihood, from the word "Crapper" a brand of toilet manufactured by Thomas Crapper and named after him.
