Secularism is not Atheism. It separates religion from the daily way of life. However since secularism is all about way of life, they would believe in anything material. They would believe and rely on evidence. Unlike religions that devote acts of providence for the creation of a person, they are likely to believe in evolution - with a rider there may be unexplained segments and the hand of a supernatural force per se in guiding that evolution. Most importantly they believe that no distinction, segregation or division among humans is necessary based on religious beliefs. At the same time, secular folks do have strong opinions about militant religion and therefore contradict themselves as they view such folks as unevolved. One outcome of secularism is the separation of church (or more correctly, religion) and state. Whatever their beliefs are, those who are secular are prone to same errors and prejudices (other than religion based) and need not necessarily be better off as persons or more humane than those with professed faith.
