What is the difference between Secular and Orthodox Judaism?
Orthodox live by the 613 Mitzvot and are Torah Observant. So at a minimum they are Modern Orthodox or a maximum they are Haredi/Hassidic (or otherwise known as Ultra Orthodox).
Secular is everything else from just simply being Jewish by birth up to Conservative/Reform who interpret Judaism differently than Orthodox. Secular makes up around 90% of Jews.
Correct. There is only one Judaism and only one Torah. That there are those who chose to alter or ignore entirely the Torah and it's Mitzvos does not create a second Judaism. One people. One Torah.
You categorize them as religious Jews and secular Jews. How do you make such a distinction? There is no such thing as a secular Jew! All of them are holy Jews!

And many holy Jews don't do what they're supposed to do, therefore they're called secular.
