de-Christianization

De-Christianization refers to the process of diminishing the influence of Christianity in society, culture, and governance. This can occur through various means, such as secularization, where religious beliefs and practices lose their significance in public life, or through active campaigns to reduce Christian symbols and traditions in favor of secular or pluralistic alternatives. Historically, de-Christianization has been observed during periods like the French Revolution, when many religious institutions were dismantled. It reflects broader trends toward modernity and the separation of church and state, responding to changing beliefs and values within society.
