Secularization
Secularization is the transformation of a society from close identification with religious values and institutions toward nonreligious values and
secular institutions. The
secularization thesis refers to the belief that as societies progress, particularly through
modernization and
rationalization, religion loses its authority in all aspects of social life and governance. The term secularization is also used in the context of the lifting of the monastic restrictions from a member of the clergy.
