Secular Separation

The Secular is often separated from the Sacred.  Why?  It seems that many of us think of them as completely separate, as if God can only bestow Grace, God-Life, in the religious, which we call sacred.  But is not God everywhere?  Does the alcoholic say that God or their Higher Power is only in meetings?  Or only in them when sober?  No.  When someone goes to church, synagogue, ashram or temple, they do not enter into God-space when they walk through the door.  God is everywhere because God cannot be a noun, located in a particular place and not in another place.  God is everywhere.  God does not go away when we are acting out our shortcomings.  We cannot diminish the power or the presence of God.
