Secular expressions
Definition
A rare collective regional or popular term abstractly derived to describe manifestations, discussions, arguments, or behaviors considered secular, laic, or specific to those who abandoned faith (atheists). In archaic ecclesiastical writings or isolated local dialects, the word was sometimes used with a pejorative nuance to denote the entirety of materialist ideas that contradicted traditional religious dogmas.
