SECULARISE Meaning and Definition

1. The term "secularise" refers to the act of removing or diminishing religious influence or affiliation within a particular context, such as an institution, organization, or society, thus facilitating a shift towards a more non-religious or worldly orientation. It signifies the transformation of a traditionally religious entity into a more secular one, characterized by a reduced emphasis on religious principles, beliefs, or practices.

   When a process of secularisation occurs, the previously dominant role of religion is gradually replaced by a more neutral or non-religious approach, and religious doctrines or rituals become less relevant or integrated within the affected sphere. This process can manifest in various ways, including the separation of religious institutions from state affairs, the decline in religious participation, the diminishing influence of religious authorities, or the adoption of a purely scientific or rational approach to understanding and solving issues.

   Secularisation can take place within different domains, such as education, politics, or culture, where religious traditions or rituals are replaced by more secular alternatives or practices. It often goes hand in hand with the growth of secularism, which promotes the idea of a society or system operating independently from religious ideologies or influences.

   Overall, "secularise" encompasses the transformation of a previously religious entity or context into a more secular one, characterized by a diminished religious presence and increasing non-religious orientation.

2. To convert from spiritual purposes to common use; to render secular.
