I was merely pointing out how the word "secular" has been used in religious 
literature. It is very common to see references to secular religion, and it 
yields neither paradox nor oxymoron. I'm sure one could define both words in 
such a way as to make "secular religion" seem self-contradictory, but there 
is no need to do that.
