Pragmatism. Love it.
I am just as moral as all of my friends who are theists to varying degrees of opinions on certain subject matters (anecdotally. We haven't been shut in a room and asked to whether or not we'd kill a person sitting in front of us).
Secular also doesn't equal atheist. By virtue of demographics until relatively recently there were more secular Christians than atheists in England and Wales. After all, secularism was a Christian idea!, probably the best thing the belief system has ever done for the world.
