Secularizedie

Secularizedie is a neologism that has appeared in some online and critical writings to discuss the secularization of ideology or public life. It is not established in academic or policy vocabularies, and its definition varies with context.

Etymology and sense: The term appears to be formed from secularize plus a noun-forming suffix -ie, yielding a label for either the process of making something secular or a proposed secular stance or ideology. Because it is not standardized, its intended scope—whether referring to institutions, norms, or beliefs—depends on the author.

Usage and interpretation: In discussions, secularizedie may be used to critique or analyze how secular frameworks shape law, education, and culture, or to propose a distinctive secular ideology. Some critics warn that the term is vague and interchangeable with existing concepts such as secularization, secular ideology, or laicism.

Relationship to related terms: It sits among terms like secularization, secularism, laïcité, and secular humanism, but lacks formal theoretical unity. It is typically treated as a rhetorical or analytical label rather than a defined theoretical category. See also secularization, secularism, laïcité, secular humanism.
