What are secular beliefs? |
Answer
Secular - pertaining to worldly things not regarding the spiritual, (often not regarding what's moral) or sacred things; no religious order
Therefore, there is no common "Secular Belief" because this classifies secularism as an "ism" and makes it a doctrine, a way of life, or a belief that adheres to a certain code. Secular ideas vary, are inconsistent, have no solid foundation, and are decided individually based on opinion.
In Christianity, secular beliefs are anything contrary to what is written in Biblical doctrine, which is solid, unchanging in nature, and is not influenced by opinion. Secularism, therefore, is the opposite of Christianity, though some self-proclaimed "Christians" are more secular or worldly than they are Christian (to their own shame for making it a mockery). It doesn't matter who the person is, all have been subject to secular arguments, teachings, ideas, and thoughts -- none of which have any solid ground. Secular or "World Views" are always changing, are very liberal, and are based on opinionated ideas, thoughts, behaviors, that may or may not be widely acceptable.
Answer
Secular systems use language and carved out content that is more open to interpretation and question. It is the root of confusion, devisiveness, and religious war in the world today. This gives explanation for various off-shoots and branched versions of primary and secondary doctrines seen in the world religions.
Answer
"Secular Belief" is probably a misnomer. Secularism is a modern movement seen most often in industrialized nations. The movement holds to untraditional ideas of subjective morality, separate of a religious grounding. It is often associated with Atheism due to the lack of religious tie-ins, but not all secularists are athiests. The movement mostly has to do with escaping age-old, strict ideas of religious morality.
