	Embassy of France in the U.S. - The Secular Principle
		Secularity is intrinsic to those values, and France has ratified the European Convention on Human Rights, article 9 of which repeats and expands on article 18 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
		Secular neutrality, the principle of official non-recognition of any religion, means that no stipend or direct subsidy may be paid to any church.
		So secularity cannot be reduced to a legal system, it is also a culture, an ethos, an emancipation from all "clericalism" understood as control of the mind by an established discourse rejecting all debate.

	Secular Games - LoveToKnow 1911
		According to tradition, the secular games had their origin in certain sacrificial rites of the gens Valeria, which were performed at the Terentum, a volcanic cleft in the Campus Martius.
		According to the Roman antiquarians themselves, they were derived from the Etruscans, who, at the end of a mean period of ioo years (as representing the longest human life in a generation), presented to the chthonian deities an expiatory offering on behalf of the coming generation.
		From this time nothing more is heard of the secular games, until they were re ived in the year 1300 as the popish jubilees instituted by Boniface VIII.

	Secular - LoveToKnow 1911
		The first sense, which is directly taken from the classical Latin, is chiefly found in scientific applications, of processes or phenomena which are continued through the ages and are not regularly recurrent or periodical, e.g.
		the secular cooling of the earth, secular change of the mean annual change of the temperature.
		Thus property transferred or alienated from spiritual to temporal hands is said to be "secularized"; "secularism" (q.v.) is the term applied in general to the separation of state politics or administration from religious or church matters; "secular education" is a system of training in which definite religious teaching is excluded.

	Jew
		Some secular historians speculate that a majority of the Jews in Antiquity were most likely descendants of converts in the cities of the Græco-Roman world, especially in Alexandria and Asia Minor.
		Secular and scientific education was added to the traditional religious instruction received by students, and interest in a national Jewish identity, including a revival in the study of Jewish history and Hebrew, started to grow.
		Many of the newly secular Jews who had embraced Haskalah found themselves deeply troubled by the continuing virulent anti-semitism of the late 1800s, especially the massive pogroms of the 1880s in Russia and the Dreyfus Affair, which occurred in France in 1894, a country many Jews had previously thought of as particularly accepting.

	Nonsecular fun and games - The Boston Globe
		Games and toys might at first glance seem less serious, but they actually speak reams about the morals and ethics important to any particular religion -- and about the almighty desire to make a buck off them, Norris said.
		In Catholic-Opoly, the goal of the game is not to accumulate wealth but to build churches and cathedrals in order to spread the Gospel.
		Industrywide, religious games tend to be alternatives to their secular cousins.

	Perplex City Academy Games
		In addition to the growth of the Academy's games, it should be noted that the power of the guilds of traders and craft-workers was slowly waning.
		This trend encouraged the decline in the importance of guild games, and the greater focus on the Academy's games.
		The Academy games, as they were already known, had become the pre-eminent midwinter games by 17BC when Professor Vianne Adamek, the radical reformer and architect of the modern Academy, suggested offering a prize for an overall champion in all the games.

	Yehuda Berlinger plays board games in Jerusalem, Israel - Spotlight on Games
		These games aren't available locally, for the most part, and shipping is expensive, and our salaries (when we have them) are light, so we don't have much.
		My game group is definitely open to all who are interested, but I advertise in English, so my exposure is limited to those who read the English papers or browse BGG (and my members are mostly between 20 and 50 of both sexes, English speakers).
		Games that prominently feature Nazi icons repel me to some extent; our game group wasn't interested in playing Origins of World War II due to the prominent picture of Hitler on the cover.

	Apollo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

		In the time of Augustus, who considered himself under the special protection of Apollo and was even said to be his son, his worship developed and he became one of the chief gods of Rome.
		He also erected a new temple on the Palatine hill and transferred the secular games, for which Horace composed his Carmen Saeculare, to Apollo and Diana.

	TEXTS ILLUSTRATING THE ROMAN GLADIATORIAL GAMES
		Gladiatorial games often seem cruel and inhumane to a lot of people, (and perhaps they are, as they are conducted today); and you have perhaps heard many arguments against them, but when guilty people fought with steel you could not witness a stronger argument against pain and death.
		To give games at such a time is respectable where it is obligatory; to be a spectator is not obligatory for me and so would not even be respectable.
		In my thirteenth consulship I was the first to celebrate the Games of Mars, which subsequently the consuls, in accordance with a decree of the senate and a law, have regularly celebrated in the succeeding years.

	The Right of a State to Secularise Petition

		The The Right of a State to Secularise Petition to Opponents of France's Ban on Religious Symbols was created by and written by Charles Henry Jarrett (charley@elitists.com).

	Roman mythology
		The Secular Games, which included both athletic spectacles and sacrifices, were held at irregular intervals, traditionally once only in about every century, to mark the beginning of a new saeculum, or "era".
		They were supposed to be held when the last person who had witnessed the previous Secular Games died, marking the beginning of a new era.
		The tradition, often neglected, was revived as a spectacle by Augustus and honored by the poet Horace with a series of odes.

	The Games (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
		If at first the games of the early Roman republic had religious significance, then later the 'secular' games were purely for entertainment, some lasting a fortnight.
		Private games still continued to be held, but they could not (and no doubt should not) rival the spectacles laid on by the emperor.
		In the provinces naturally the games remained privately sponsored, but in Rome itself such private spectacles were left to the praetors (and later to the quaestors) during the month of December when the emperor did not host games.

	Gothic 3 Preview PC Video Game Preview by AceGamez
		The developers have listened to the comments of their audience and implemented a full keyboard and mouse system that is consistent throughout the game and extends the combat system while maintaining a feel that fans of the series will find familiar.
		Like in previous Gothic games you'll need to find the map of the world yourself - there are still teleport runes and teleportation locations throughout the game, so you won't have to walk through the whole world over and again, but there are no horses for riding.
		On September 12th the game was declared 'Gold' and ready for manufacture by developer Piranha Bytes, only to be rescinded on the 21st.

		I listen to alot of secular artist from all aspects of life (different lifestyles, styles, etc...) My personal opinion is that alot of these artist have an overall theme as to "live for the now" which is kind of sad, but at the same time it gives you hope as to their salvation.
		For me its secular music, nudity (I draw live models) and other things, but there are thing we are affected by.
		secular music is very much a waste of time, I do that often enough without another source.

	RUSSIA: RASS Draft Religious Policy Emphasises Secular State.
		As indicated to Keston by faculty employee Veronika Kravchuk on 15 March, its main emphasis is on the Russian Federation as a secular state.
		Three times the length of ISCRL's draft policy, the RASS text includes a close analysis of the history and current position of state-confessional relations in Russia, and makes observations which would appear to be unprecedented for a state body.
		Formation of a single state policy in the religious sphere will only be possible, argue the RASS authors, 'once the activity of all these organs is coordinated in a single subordination' - to a federal state organ for affairs with religious organisations.

		With such intense interest, the band decided to leave school and relocate to Nashville permanently; at this point, Bronleewe departed, wanting to finish school and settle down with his fiance, and was replaced by Lowell's childhood friend Matt Odmark.
		Some secular listeners and radio programmers hadn't realized that Jars of Clay were a Christian band, and there was something of a backlash when that fact became more widely publicized.
		They spent most of the year on the road, then took a break to work on material for their second album (they'd already released the Christmas EP Little Drummer Boy at the end of 1995).

	Secular Market
		Secular markets are typically driven by large-scale national and worldwide events, which occur in combination.
		A secular bull market will have bear market periods within it, but it will not reverse the overlying trend of upward asset values.
		For example, most economists agree that U.S. equities were in a secular bull market from about 1980 to 2000, even though the stock market crash of 1987 occurred within the same time period.

	The world's top Religion websites
		An example of this sort of approach, sometimes referred to as "Hebrew thought", bases its discussion of religion on the question "What is the 'function' of religion?", defining the "function" of a belief system as the effect that it has on the actions of individuals who hold those beliefs.
		However, solitary practice of prayer and meditation is often seen to be just as important, as is living out religious convictions in secular activities when in the company of people who are not necessarily adherents to that religion.
		Some historically Christian Western countries, particularly in Europe, show declining recruitment for priesthoods and monasteries, and studies in the UK show a fast-diminishing attendance at churches, synagogues, etc. The demographic group that is "losing faith" the most rapidly is the most-educated classes.
