Answer 3

Secular means "of the age," as opposed to eternal, which means "of all time." By extension it also means "not necessarily pertaining to religion," and '' concerning the here-and-now, not the hereafter."

Secular can also mean non religious. For example secular funerals, or secular celebrations. :)

It means 'worldly' as opposed to 'religious'. In the past, a Bishop or Cardinal often had secular power, being the ruler of a city or province, and at the same time religious power as the highest cleric and religious judge in that same area. Music can also either be religious ('as sung in church') or secular (written for entertainment). A 'secular' country is a country where State and religion are clearly separated and where religion does not in any way dictate State policy or practices.
