Detailed explanation-1: -Put most simply, secularization refers to the notion of a society becoming less religious over time, while secularism refers to the ideological stance that actively wishes to promote the loss of religion in that society.
Detailed explanation-2: -As a result of secularization the role of religion in modern societies becomes restricted. In secularized societies faith lacks cultural authority, and religious organizations have little social power. Secularization has many levels of meaning, both as a theory and as a historical process.
