Everything about Secularity Disambiguation totally explained
The adjective
secular (noun form
secularity) has several different meanings in different contexts. The
noun is much less frequently used than the
adjective.
Etymology
Secularity and
secular are derived from the
Latin word
saeculum, an expression of time meaning one
generation or
century. Strictly speaking, a secular occurrence is thus something which happens approximately once every one hundred years. Such an occurrence would usually be seen as a long-term event, but when compared to the age of the universe, or to an infinite amount of time,
secular may instead be used to describe something which occurs or repeats very briefly.
The word in all cases refers to the passage of time. It can mean a short time, a long time, or simply
temporal as opposed to
eternal.
Usual meaning

secular is "not specifically
religious", because religion (but more specifically
God as described in
Christianity) is deemed to be timeless:
