Re: ROTFLMAO
"Jew" is an ethnic term as well as referring to a member of a particular religion. So a "secular Jew" is someone who is ethnically Jewish but does not follow the religion of Judaism (and usually DOES follow some cultural traditions).
​
"Christian" does not refer to an ethnic group so there is no real equivalent. Anyone who does not follow the Christian religion is not a Christian ("secular" or otherwise) even if they do keep some cultural traditions derived from Christianity.
