You seem to regard `sacred` as meaning something different to my meaning.

To me `sacred` is synonymous with `holy`.

If you say "this landscape is sacred" then I interpret that to mean that, to you, the landscape has some special religious significance and I can accept that. As far as I am concerned, that doesn`t actually make the landscape sacred, it`s only sacred within the minds of those who have such a faith.

I do know that the word `sacred` is sometimes used without a religious context. To my way of thinking, that just devalues a powerful word.
