Some Definitions

Here are some definitions I felt it prudent to clarify. Please refer back to my earlier post Epiphany for further understanding.
(All definitions have been taken from www.dictionary.reference.com)


SECULAR (adjective)
- of or pertaining to worldly things or to things that are not regarded as religious, spiritual, or sacred; temporal.

HUMANIST (adjective)
- of or pertaining to a philosophy asserting human dignity and man's capacity for fulfillment through reason and scientific method and often rejecting religion.
(Being considered a Humanist can also refer to someone who is concerned with the interests and welfare of humans, but in general it seems to refer to a rejection of religious belief for scientific reason instead.)

RELIGION (noun)
- a set of beliefs concerning the cause, nature, and purpose of the universe, esp. when considered as the creation of a superhuman agency or agencies, usually involving devotional and ritual observances, and often containing a moral code governing the conduct of human affairs.

SPIRITUALITY (adjective)
This one's hard to define without using "spirit" in the definition:
- of or pertaining to sacred things or matters; religious; devotional; sacred.
- of or pertaining to the spirit or soul, as distinguished from the physical nature.
- of or relating to the mind or intellect (hmmm, interesting...)

ATTACK (noun)
- an expression of strong criticism; hostile comments.
