Secularization
Secularization: the historical process of separation between religion and political-social life.
Secularization is the historical process — variable by context — of separation between religious institutions and political, legal, and educational ones. Theorized by Max Weber (disenchantment of the world), Charles Taylor (A Secular Age, 2007) analyzed it as complex condition, not mere religious decline. Habermas and Joseph Ratzinger debated conditions of coexistence between secular reason and religion in public sphere.
