Secularism--or whatever you want to call it--is the religion of the Left

This is wrong. Most Leftists may be secularists but secularism is much larger than that. It is based on the idea that supernatural phenomena are not a part of our lives. We don't have to create them, or infer their existance, in order to explain natural phenomena or morality or any other aspect of our lives and experience.

So how do you explain morality?

Yes, that's what I mean by "a peculiar form of materialism". Among other failures, the Left--the Secularists--are stuck in the maya; their religion teaches that nothing else exists.
