I'm not that poster but in many ways Buddhism is secular and the stuff it teaches about the mind and emotions and ways to eliminate suffering can be secular. The example you cited is the very most religious example of Buddhism. The rise in popularity of "mindfulness" seminars and retreats in the western world is almost exclusively due to Buddhism, they tend to teach basic principles of the Buddhist attitude to mind but in a secular way and without calling it Buddhist.
