The term "secular" was first used in a modern sense in 1851 by the British writer George Holyoake. Holyoake used the term to describe his worldly approach to morals, philosophy, and society and politics. The term "secular" comes from the Latin word saeculum which means "of a generation" or "belonging to an age".
