Profane would have been the correct antonym, by the Thesaurus. I chose Casual instead as the opposite of sacred. It is the value we see, or not, in things natural within and without. For instance, speech, thought, sunrise and waxed moon. They could either engage us towards fullness in ourself or we could let it pass carelessly without any consideration.
It the sacred we have lost in this age of rights, economics, and entitlement. One example : abortion. Carrying a baby to fullness is a sacred matter. Aborting, no matter what the ground, is a relatively casual act. There could be competing extraordinary reasons involved but that is rare. It is just irresponsible behaviour from start to finish, mostly.
The sacred is full of love and awareness. It is quietly holding hands of being already on the move. It is empathising with the nature of things without agitation, carefully and responsibly.
It is like music.
