If the definition applies to one it applies to both, there is no honest method of claiming one is a religion whilst the other is not.
The criteria is that the followers believe in the gods, spirits etc.
Either the Catholics are sincere in what they say and by your definition are 'secular', or they don't believe a word of their claims and are lying through their teeth but would be a religion.
Either way the definition you are proposing is worthless for obvious reasons and clearly intended to obfuscate.
As I've said elsewhere Machiavelli gives a far more practical insight into the thoughts of believers, and is applicable to the Pontiff and Ham and pretty much all others we encounter, including yourself.
