Secular lies are either untruths having to do with non-religious topics (Beethoven did not write any symphonies), or beliefs/theories that can't be shown to be based in religious teaching (natural processes can explain the beginning of life).

The latter is really the special class of 'lie', since they are lies only from a religious point of view. From a secular point of view, they may or may not be held as accurate or true, or they may be held by some groups and not by others, but followers of religion take them to be statements that undercut religious teachings and/or authority, and are therefore considered toxic and classed as lies.
