Franklin's the Way to Wealth is often referred to as a secular sermon because it is "organized into a speech given by "father Abraham" which make it a sermon , a character in a bible" but it wasn't meant to be religious so it is secular.

Answer:

Benjamin Franklin's "The Way to Wealth" is often referred to as a secular sermon as it uses religious imagery and stories to communicate modern ideals to its listeners.

Step-by-step explanation:

"The Way to Wealth" is an essay written by Benjamin Franklin in 1758, arranged into a speech that was delivered by one man named "Father Abraham" to a group of people. This organised essay is often referred to be a secular sermon as it uses religious stories and derives imagery from the religious books in order to communicate modern ideals into the people.
