there are many usage of "secular" one is "through the ages", it would depend on the context and usage, in common usage with politics/policies, "secularism" implies the underlying belief that man is highest authority/intellect through declaration (atheism) or irrelevance, for practical purposes, there is not much difference with the premise of nonexistence or irrelevance, both still rely on men as final authority.

I hope that answers it but I wasn't sure on which "criteria" you were referring too.

Which of these definitions of "secular" are you asserting is the common usage, and implies a denial of God?
