Default What is secularism?

Not that I don't know the meaning of the word.
But what is "seculae"? or "secul"? in Latin. Word origins.

I hear first secular state was Roman Empire? Or Roman Republic? (True? or not true? please, confirm or deny)

I would like to enlighten myself. Because I see deep fundamental and mental division between Western secular mind and Eastern theocratic (religious) mind. You might as well put "mind", "approach", "modus operandi" or whatever.

Of course bearing in mind that there is also another East (Sinoxenic). But that's a different story.
