Hobbes ..a Protestant?

How can Hobbes be a secular- calvinist- protestant? Isn't the word secular related to atheism? WOuld someone clear this up for me? And isn't protestant a sect. of religon that believes in God, Jesus Christ and the rest of the lot. If anything I think that Hobbes only claim to religon would serves purposes of saving his butt from accusations of heresy and also, appealing to a wider market of people that he can seduce into his Hobbesian mindset of political rule (Tatiania, is this what you ment by "Hobbes thought the teachings of the church are great... but God's are crap"....to Hobbes?) Hobbes's only use for religon is as a tool to regiment people into a monarchial form of government. To refer to oneself as a protestant, on some level or another is to say you believe in Love and Freedom of death. Hobbes is probably barbequing hambergers with Satan right now....
