But for which purpose? Ringing or secular ringing?

Bells in churches will have been consecrated for sacred use. Are they 
not de-consecrated when no longer to be used for religious purposes? Is 
the difference between secular and sacred not simply a matter of whether 
the bells are considered to be consecrated?
