The number in the year the world uses may have religious origins, but for all intents and purposes it is a secular New Year. Everything in our daily lives revolves around the year, whether y ou are religious or not. Even taxes are paid revolving around the year that begins Jan 1st and ends Dec 31st. It6 is secular, no matter what it's origins may have been.

In the Catholic Calendar, January 1st is a hold Day of Obligation. However, that is not because it is "New Years Day", but because it is "The Feast of the Solomenty of Mary". This is only in the Catholic Calendar, not most of the Christian Protestant religions which don't follow the Catholic Feast Days.
