Depends, if a secular humanist believes that time, space and matter appeared out of nothing, which is indistinguishable from magic and on the grandest possible scale.

It's definitely less of a magical explanation than that everything was created by a magic personality of endless love and ruthless judgment, whom you know personally through auditory hallucinations and the writings on ancient scrolls.

Ok, but what about literally every other scale? Because those are the ones that matter re: morality and how we show up in the world.
Saying "both sides can't answer this one question" as though that implies that both sides are equally invested in magical thinking is a bit unfair.
