"Secular" is Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day
Here’s an interesting tidbit from the Rock Beyond Belief website. Merriam-Webster sends out daily “word of the day” emails, and today’s entry is “secular.” What’s more interesting is that they include a quote from a NYT article about the Rock Beyond Belief and its organizer, Sgt. Justin Griffith, as an example of how to use the word:
“In response, Sergeant Griffith has recruited a star lineup of atheist musicians and speakers, including the writer Richard Dawkins, to headline a secular event, possibly for the fall.” — From an article by James Dao in The New York Times, April 27, 2011
Methinks someone at MW is a fan of secularism…
