Recall that both secularism and humanism were conceived of by the faithful, and that the majority of human beings are still believers.

I jest, ofc..we know that these are the things you simply won't do, now don't we.
Secularity (derived from the word "secular" which comes from Latin saeculum meaning "worldly", "of a generation", "temporal", or a span of about 100 years) is the state of being separate from religion[/url], or of not being exclusively allied with or against any particular [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religion]religion. Historically, the word secular was not related or linked to religion, but was a freestanding term in Latin which would relate to any mundane endeavour. Source
When you say "humanism", it's important to define what you mean by it because the term is often used loosely. The dictionary has nine definitions for it. Many of them are closely related, but not in totality.
