The use of the word secularization also has a changing history. Originally used at the end of the religious war, it means to transfer the territory or property originally controlled by the church from the hands of the church. In Roman canon law, this word also means that people with teaching positions return to secular society.

Later, in anti-clerical circles, it began to be used to indicate that modern people are not protected by religion, while in circles related to traditional churches, it was attacked as synonymous with "heresy" and "non-Christianization".
