um... the meaning of "secular"

Would it be appropriate to call China a "secular" state, since it's supposedly not influenced by religious groups? Is there a better word for what kind of government China is that implies it's non-religious base (besides republic/communist)?

"Secularism actually means an attitude unconnected with any religion"

Seems fine
