Profane would have been the correct antonym, by the Thesaurus. I chose Casual instead as the opposite of sacred. It is the value we see, or not, in things natural within and without. For instance, speech, thought, sunrise and waxed moon. They could either engage us towards fullness in ourself or we could let it pass carelessly without any consideration.

It the sacred we have lost in this age of rights, economics, and entitlement. One example : abortion. Carrying a baby to fullness is a sacred matter. Aborting, no matter what the ground, is a relatively casual act. There could be competing extraordinary reasons involved but that is rare. It is just irresponsible behaviour from start to finish, mostly.

The sacred is full of love and awareness. It is quietly holding hands of being already on the move. It is empathising with the nature of things without agitation, carefully and responsibly.

It is like music.

Waxing the moon must be a big project for a cleaning firm Vam!  I'm not sure we can always tell sacred from causal.  Abortion is a difficult issue.  One can hardly be pro-abortion and yet at the same time want women to have choice and not be sneered at.

Did you consider, the sacred relates more to love than worship ?

And love means effort, for others to live happier and for oneself to be free.

yeah abortion is a difficult issue and one I have no answer for..        I also don't believe I have the right to force others to live by my beliefs.
everyone has responsibility for their own bodies what ever gender they are. As for love exactly just what is ¿love?

do no harm

Allan sneering at another's views is the same as saying my views and similar views are right and your's are not.

I believe it is a right enough occasion to say : not all views are equal in their worth.

It is for one who holds the view to establish its worth amongst his or her peers, principally by living in its accord and offering the experienced merit.
