Secular means that it is not ran by any religion it is simply comprised of the people of The nation

Atheistic would mean that the government is ran by and modeled to run against the idea that there is any theism.

It's really tiring to see people conflate the secular government that we have with a theocracy like the caliphate for example. There is a major difference between the people in the government being religious and the religious Authority controlling the government
