secularised
Stripped of holiness
Secularised is the British spelling of secularized, the past tense of secularize.
To secularize something is to remove it from religious control or influence, making it worldly or nonreligious: The state secularised education in the 1870s.
A secularised society gives less authority to religious institutions and more to civil government.
