But this isn't the place for that discussion.
It means "worldly." A person who does things just to be accepted by the hood.

That's, um, not what worldly means.

^^Let's see your definition. Don't copy from Merriam-Webster either.

I was using the definition of experienced, knowledgeable, well traveled and versed in society. But just looking it up seems like there is a definition of materialistic that could potentially fit what you were saying.

Either way you using it to describe a secular person is really dumb.

Incorrect.

"Secular" means having no religious leanings or affiliations or as being of no spiritual relevance. As such, things like glass Coke bottles can be asserted as "secular" objects unless one ascribes some religious relic status to them or some such nonsense.

Since we're nit-picking about what source is not acceptable here (laughable that you don't want the Merriam-Webster definition), my source is a college education that actually spent an entire class period hammering out this concept of what is and is not "secular."

For what it's worth, I don't believe that a truly "secular" person exists, but that is for a different discussion. ;)
