Best Answer

Secularisation is transforming a society from religious values toward non-religious. The term is used in the context of lifting monastic restriction from a member of the clergy.

What is the difference between secularism and secularization?

'Secularism' is the belief that society were best arranged such that religion were given no sort of special status or authority, so that (for example) the dreams of one of my shepherd ancestors attributed to their chief god would not (absent anything else) be treated by unembarrassed adults as acceptable evidence in a court of law or a good basis for legislation.'Secularisation' is the process of secularism's becoming significantly more important in society.Note that neither implies or urges the persecution of religion, but some of a religious bent consider secularisation to be persecution to the extent that it strips from religion---or, more usually, their particular faith---privileges previously enjoyed but which a secularist would consider undue, much as a deposed king might consider it persecution to civil rights merely equal to those enjoyed by any other citizen.In shortSecularisation is the transformation of a society from close identification with religious values

Is secularization essential for a nation-state to become modern?

Yes, but that depends on one's definition and understanding of secularisation. If secularisation is taken to mean the removal of the influence of organised religion or religious institutions in the operation of the state then it is essential to the effectiveness of a modern state that is able to accomodate difference and diversity. The inclusion of spiritually inclusive ideas, concepts and values in the public sphere, however, does not undermine secularism. A secular constitution, for example, may make reference to the idea of God but as long as it does not define or limit the idea, there is no incongruence. Secularism is not synonymous with atheism. It is worth remembering that the historical roots of secularism lie in the religious conflicts of post-Reformation Europe and that secularism was the best framework within which Catholicism and Protestantism could co-exist and agree to disagree without the constant risk of a war or social conflict overhanging everything all the time. Religion is very much a personal matter of faith. It is not a inhibiting factor for any body if it is not imposing on others. The main problem for a state may be to carry-out the different concepts, which sometime violate the thin limit of faith or religion. However secular state can be helpful for fast growing modern state. Navin Maheshwari
