That supposition is incorrect. The percentage of a people following a religion has nothing to do with a truly secular state. An atheist state is not a secular one by any means of the word - it is an atheist state. A country can be 100% Christian and secular, or 100% atheist and non-secular.

A completely secular state allows freedom of religion, and neither oppresses nor encourages it in any way whatsoever. Of course, secularism is measured in degrees, with certain states being more secular than others. For example, the United States of America, Great Britain, Germany, and Sweden are all secular states, but all have different policies which could be construed as being more or less secular than others in some areas.
