View source for Secular

Secular ... i.e. ''non-church'', as opposed to [[Sacred]], meaning
it has to do with the [[church]] or [[God]].

[[Secular music]] is music that is not devoted to [[God]], e.g.
love songs, [[dance music]], etc.

Secular authorities are Kings, Princes and so on - not the local Bishop or Archbishop, who are the ecclesiastical authorities (usually. In the Papal States or some cities in Germany, eg [[Mainz]] or [[Cologne]] they could be the same people).
