Detailed explanation-1: -Secularism comes from the word secular, meaning “of this world”. Before the Renaissance, medieval Christian civilization had been largely concerned with faith and salvation in the afterlife.
Detailed explanation-2: -While worldly often describes individuals who are sophisticated and well-rounded in education, travel, and experiences, it’s also used for people who are rooted in the world or focused on physical and material things around them, rather than on spiritual matters.
Detailed explanation-3: -This decline is the main reason for the development of humanism, as people became less interested in thinking about God, the afterlife, and the saints and more interested in thinking about themselves, their natural world, and the here and now.
