      Secular refers to things not religious or spiritual. Those days are religious holidays in various forms of Paganism which is an umbrella term for a set of religions/spiritual practices. If anybody wants truly secular holidays the equinoxes and solstices shouldn’t be included in that list.

        Secular means separate from religion. Any religion, including paganism. Equinoxes are as food a reason as any to enjoy some time with family.

          He’s agreeing with you on secular. The parent poster said equinoxes should replace a religious holiday, and he’s saying that equinoxes are not strictly secular, they are religious at least with respect to paganism.

            Every day of the calendar is religious for someone. Equinoxes are perfectly secular, physical phenomena.
