"The word 'sacred' implies religious devotion or function.

You say it undermines its true meaning but do you mean just the xtian meaning?
Some people may not be xtains but still define things as sacred to them, they just have a different religion. Your religion may not be the same as mine but we can both have places that are sacred to us.
I agree we cannot know what these places meant to the ancient people but very often you can feel a specialness about a place that must have been felt then as well as now. We refer to it as a religious place or sacred place, maybe we have some sort of inbuilt instinct about such places.
