Is that really an "ism"? I've heard of secular Jews, e.g., which is what I think you may have in mind, and I know they behave politically in certain ways -- which can be very different from the way Orthodox and Conservative Jews behave -- but is there a coherent "ism" associated with secularization?

usually it's linked as "secular humanism"...
Oh don't forget "moral relativism"

I think there are "secular catholics" as well.
My wife's family is Catholic in the way many Jews are Jews-they were born that way, that's their identity, they could ever be anything else, so that's what they are.
The Catholic vote is the backbone of the twelve Catholic senators who strongly defend abortion-it would be great if that changed.
