Means Higher Power, not a religion. Your own conception of a higher power, unrelated to a church, or the bible, priest etc or organized religious organizations. There are well over 500 organizations that follow exactly the original 12 step program. Some of the few off the top of my head are.
NA, CA, Nicotine Anonymous, Debtors, Sex, Gambling, Alanon, Alateen, Co-Dependancy, Enablers, Over Eaters, Bulemia.

So you got internet, type in in the search field. Takes 2 seconds. Define Secular.
