how can the law be entirely secular

The law isn't secular. It's based on moral precepts, and moral precepts are based on religion. Even people who claim to have non-religioius moreal precepts really don't. A baby has no morality. Morality is learned. And it is learned from people who are religious.

There is no more a purely secular legal system than there is a purely numberless arithmetic.
