I've read maybe 3 or 4 of his books, and it all tends to be pretty much secular.
He specifically argues against ideology, and argues for adapting buddhist teachings to the needs of another culture. IIRC, in The Art of Living he argues for an "American style of Buddhism" which is adapted to American culture.
I'm generally pretty allergic to religion, but I find his teachings to be really palatable and quit helpful.
So generally I think you'd find the Plum Village tradition pretty easy to swallow.
You might want to check out the documentary "Walk With Me" which came out in 2017 and gives a pretty good picture of what Thich What Hanh and Plum Villiage tradition is all about.
