Just because he's secular doesn't mean he doesn't believe or care. He just doesn't understand how dressing in a black wool suit and fur hat when it's 100 degrees outside makes you a better Jew.
The 'black wool suit jew' at least knows more or less what to eat and to not eat, and what to do (and to not do) on Shabos. This is belief put into practice. Basic belief is accessible to anyone (I could believe in Buddah, who would care ?), but committing yourself to being shomer Tora umitsvos is a whole different story.
The Chiloni is willing to put on a uniform and go out, fight and maybe even die to defend Eretz Yisrael and the Jewish people. Nothing really tops that right now.
