I'm not really into metal or Christian metal/rock, but I've never heard of "Secular Metal" as a genre. I'm into [[soul music]] and gospel, and plenty of gospel musicians refer to doing "secular music", but I've never really heard of them describing it as, say, "secular soul music". It sounds like a negatively defined category used only by those in the Christian Metal community to describe metal artists outside of that community, rather than something that the non-Christian metal community would use. I hope it's not offensive to say, but it's a bit like "muggles" from ''[[Harry Potter]]'' - a term used by one group to describe another, not a term that other group actually uses for themselves. –[[User:Tom Morris|Tom Morris]] 18:43, 4 January 2010 (UTC) | |||
