Cult I understand, religions can be cult-like, and they pretty much all start out that way and given the behavior of many it may be a fair charge.
But "Secular"?
secular
[ ˈsekyələr ]
adjective
adjective: secular
1. denoting attitudes, activities, or other things that have no religious or spiritual basis: Contrasted with sacred.
"secular buildings"
synonyms: nonreligious · areligious · lay · temporal · worldly · earthly · More
A secular cult would be like Ayn's Randroids. Or another political or pseudophilosophical personality cult.
I don't know what you were getting at.

Yeah, secular is the opposite of religious pretty much.
