I'm not quite sure what you're after here. so I have a few questions: Why do you want us to say we're secular? Define secular as you see it, please. And why would you say that you don't believe in religions but then state that you respect every religion? Personally, I see all of life as spiritual, therefore there is no part of life that is secular. In my opinion, all religions are related...they exist to give us rules for the world we live in. Rules of appropriate behavior, morals, ideas about how to exist in this world. There are many people who live lives of a spiritual nature. Would you consider a buddhist monk's life away from meditation secular? My guess is the monk wouldn't. Every moment of our lives we live in relation to the Creator, regardless of which religion we are trying to distance ourselves from. That said, I was raised Catholic and within the Church anyone who isn't clergy would be considered secular. I do not consider anything or anyone secular. We are all creations of Spirit/God and every breath and every action is seen and lived and experienced in relation to existing as a being of spirit/Spirit. Take a look around and see what you see. Kim
