With AOO 4.0, with the en-US dictionaries, I see these synonyms listed: laic, lay, profane, layman, layperson, commoner, common man. "Secular" has several meanings and all of the above are correct, according to the Oxford English Dictionary, 2nd Edition. Not every meaning is applicable to every use, but none of these are irrelevant. In any case I don't think anyone is trying to make a statement here, at least not in the dictionary.
