Secular mortality pales in comparison to the standard of absolute morality championed by Christianity. It's not the same beast at all, but a taster of the real thing. I would call secular morality savage. There is no justification for forgiveness, for example. Listen to defenders of our legal system and they cite Christ as the standard for this. Society demands retribution and an eye for an eye.
