The secularization
Example: The secularization of government institutions changed society dramatically.
Definition
The secularization is the process through which religious influence, authority, or control is reduced or removed from institutions, practices, and societal structures, especially within government, education, and public life, leading to a more non-religious or neutral approach.
Etymology
The term "secularization" derives from the Latin word 'saeculum,' meaning 'age' or 'world,' combined with the suffix '-ization,' indicating a process. It originally referred to transferring church property to secular (non-religious) authorities, but over time it expanded to describe the broader decline of religious influence in society.
