I would like a deeper expliantaion as to why the speaker's friend thought that the cross on the skeleton meant that God wasn't there for him. I understand, but it was sort of anticlimatic. This man doesn't believe in God anyone because a skeleton with a gold cross in a cave touched him. It felt like an unrewarding payoff, athough the build was good.

And why the word secular instead of atheist? They mean the same thing, but secular's generally used to describe a nonreligious thing (i.e. secular music, secular culture) whereas atheist generally means a nonreligious person.

That's just my two cents. That a little better?

The reason I used secular was basically simple formality. Also, it was to reflect a lot of theist/Christian terminology. A lot of Southern Christians use the term 'secular' rather than atheist, at least in my area.
