nonsacred
Lacking religious significance
Nonsacred describes things not connected to religion, worship, or spiritual significance—the opposite of sacred.
The term appears in contexts distinguishing religious from secular domains: nonsacred music, nonsacred spaces.
It's more formal than everyday speech typically requires, where *secular* or *nonreligious* usually serve the same purpose.
