Again, read my definition of a secular Muslim.  If you don't think they exist then you don't know many Muslims. 

As for your comment about picking and choosing, you have just described the basic nature of Protestantism and what we call Cafeteria Catholics.  Protestants regularly pick and choose the sects that teach the brand of Christianity that suits them.  If they want gay bishops they go the Anglican Church.  If they like fundamentalism they will be drawn to certain sects.  If they believe in pre-millenialism they will be followers of LaHaye.  If they are socially and fiscally conservative they will be drawn to Dr. Stanley.  And if they want to build up their street cred and be seen as "authentically black" they will head to Jeremiah Wright's church.  And while Catholics don't have the luxury to pick and choose their Church (they can either stay or leave) I can tell you they pick and choose which Church teachings they will follow.  People do it all the time. And people often change as their view of the world changes.  When young they may be drawn to more evangelical or liberal sects but as they grow older and have children they are drawn to more family-friendly churches.
