Secularism

during the twelfth and thirteenth centuries by the trouveres

Both!

In a democratic country like India, with its multi lingual and multi racial character, secularism is the best option. Under secularism, right to practice religious rituals by peoples from all religions is allowed to exercise without any obstacle or hindrance. Whereas in autocracy, right to religious practice is curtailed specially for the minority communities. Even in Government services, college, university admission, there is reservation for minority community candidates. There is no discrimination of any sort on religious grounds. In view of the above, secularism is vital for a democratic country.

No he was actually a leader in the new art at the time called "Ars Nova." While yes he is very well known for his sacred music he wrote many poems about a woman that he loved very much and she loved him, but sadly she was to young for him and it was unable to work out. He wrote many poems and set them to music and they were about this love that he had. one in particular that is worth mentioning is Puis Qu'en Oublis. It means, Since I Am Forgotten by You. It is a sad song but worth listening to especially because of its harmony and dissonance, which is unheard of in the times he was writing this in the mid 1300's.

Is deck the halls sacred or secular

1976

Constantine I (or the Great) supported Christianity. He promoted Christians in the imperial bureaucracy, introduced some laws which favoured the Christians, built some important Christian churches and tried to arbitrate between disputes between rival Christian doctrines by summoning synods ecumenical councils. However, he did not hold any religious authority. Moreover, besides supporting the Christians, he also promoted the worship of Sol Invictus (the Unconquered Sun) a pagan god.

Some two hundred year later the Byzantine emperors, beginning with Justinian I (or the Great), became the supreme authority of the Eastern Christian Church (later it became known the Orthodox Church), which was the official church of this empire, as well as the supreme political authority of the empire.

The late 19th century/early 20th century German sociologist Max Weber used the term Caesaropapism. He defined "a secular, caesaropapist ruler ... [as someone who] exercises supreme authority in ecclesiastic matters by virtue of his autonomous legitimacy". In Weber's political sociology, caesaropapism entails "the complete subordination of priests to secular power." The term relates to any such situation, not just that of the Byzantine Empire.

rythm, pitch, or duration. was, we believe signed by hand to voices. Thus it is also believed that our staff of five lines with four slots for notes came about this way as we have five fingers and ofcourse four gaps between them. Prove it for some big cash around the world!!!

From a structural standpoint, the Catholic Church acted as a very influential sovereign power and authority in Europe up until and through the protestant reformation in the 1500's. The Pope was an incredibly powerful political figure that could threaten entire nations with excommunication should they not bend to his will, believed by many to be the very intention of Christ Himself.

It is interesting when you examine the spread of religion throughout the world. Until the middle of the second millennium, Christianity had some serious competition from Muslims, Buddhists, and Jews. Something happened in the middle of the second millennium, which gave Christianity a decided advantage over these other religions, one that would forever change the shape of western society, and of the world.

When European empires began sending ships around the world to explore, conquer and set up trade, they didn't just send exploratory vessels. They sent ships with priests, and men with guns. They way it worked was simple. The priests would come, and spread the teachings of Christ. When there was sufficient divisiveness among the target population, then men with guns would come and the society would fall very easily.

Sacred is religious mucic that are related to the catholic church on the contrary Secular music is non-religious music. "Secular" means being separate from religion.

they are talking about Martin Luther, the protestant from the 16th century, not Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. this doesn't go under african-american history.

Yea it's definatly Gregory I

For the most part, art during the Renaissance was religious.

However, portraiture as well as mythological themes were also popular (secular) themes.

A funnel, perhaps. The bottom point would represent the secular leader, the conical sides would represent his/her/its subordinates of various ranks, the contents of the funnel represent the power and wealth, provided by the initiated masses of believers, which the ranks of subordinates then 'funnel' to their leader. The initiated masses would be represented by the mouth of the funnel.

or the american flag, or a human being

Humanists believe that the way in which one lives one's life should be dictated by common human principles and reasoning, and that one's actions should be directed toward the betterment of mankind, independent of any religion.

Atheists believe that there is no God, and therefore (by extension) that how one lives one's life must be dictated by secular (or non-theistic spiritual) principles instead of rules handed down by some deity. Atheists are often humanists of some form, but do not necessarily have to be (many sociopaths, for example, are atheists but are also definitely not humanists)

Agnostics do not claim to know whether God does or does not exist: there may be some deity or there may not be. Humanist agnostics go one step further to claim that they do not know whether God does or does not exist, but the question also should not matter in how one lives one's life (that it should be lived by humanist principles in either case).

So in summary, an atheist believes there is no God (and believes that is an important distinction to make). A humanist agnostic believes he/she doesn't know whether there is, but that it shouldn't matter in any case.

Most Secular Humanists and other Atheists view family as one of the key institutions to creating a functional society and engendering peace and tranquility among people. Family bonds are based in love, trust, hope, and reciprocal good treatment. These are things worth nourishing and protecting. However, Secular Humanists and other Atheists see families as worthy of dissolution in those cases where family members cannot, after persistent attempts, have a cordial or functional relationship. They support divorce or estrangement in these unfortunate circumstances.

Secular vocation means a non-religious job.

No. The United Kingdom has the Anglican Church as the official national religion. However, the traditions of the United Kingdom, compounded by the European Convention of Human Rights (which is part of British Law by EU conventions), makes Britain effectively a secular country, even though it technically is not.

Secular holidays are not associated with any religious faith. Examples are President's Day, Martin Luther King Day, Valentine's day, New Years Day, Winter Solstice, Labor day, Groundhog Day, Mother's Day, Father's Day, Memorial Day, etc.

Religious holidays have religious significance. Examples are Chanukah, Ramadan, Easter, Good Friday, Christmas, Yom Kippur, etc.

Unfortunately there is no Secular Court in the Roman Catholic religion. All courts or legal issues are decided under the auspices of canon law. Secular issues are left to the jurisdiction of the various governments that the church interacts and lives with.

The most senior ecclesiastical court is he Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (CDF) (Congregatio pro Doctrina Fidei), previously known as the Supreme Sacred Congregation of the Roman and Universal Inquisition, and sometimes simply called the Holy Office. This is the oldest of the nine congregations of the Roman Curia. Among the most active of these major Curial departments, it oversees Catholic doctrine. The CDF is the modern name for what used to be the Holy Office of the Inquisition.

The term 'Secular Jew' is not strictly defined, but refers to Jews who maintain cultural links but do not follow religious observances. Many Jewish Israelis feel that being Israeli and speaking Hebrew are in themselves a sufficient expression of Judaism without any religious observances. A Central Bureau of Statistics survey in Israel has shown that 44 per cent of Jews in the country over the age of 20 define themselves as 'secular'. Secular Judaism is interpreted slightly differently amongst diaspora Jews, where some 'Secular Jews' continue to follow nominal religious traditions.

Secular humanists view sexuality as a part of human life, not subject to the arbitrary demands of an imaginary deity or the control of government.

This does not mean that secular humanists are necessarily promiscuous. There are perfectly practical reasons to exercise caution about sex, since there are real dangers in the form of sexually transmitted disease, unwanted pregnancy, jealousy or other emotional problems, child support payments, etc.

Like most secular activities altruism, not morality , is the guiding principle in play. Self determined control is the important issue. This precludes the control of sexuality among consenting responsible adults based on "standards of morality" or government regulation.

Here is a list.

I believe that the best term would be nonreligious. This being said it would also depend on the context of what the way you want to replace it.
