to secularize

Mais ceux qui étaient prêts à se séculariser, comme le voulait leur propre intuition, les évêques et le clergé locaux qui voulaient tout faire pour maintenir les écoles, étaient souvent mal compris, voire injuriés.
Their objective is to secularize and democraticize the country's institutions.
Leur objectif est de laïciser et de démocratiser les institutions du pays.
If so, then the solution is to secularize the extremists who are here and be more selective about future immigrants, so we only get nominal, secular Muslims.
Si oui, alors la solution est de laïciser les extrémistes qui sont ici et d’être plus sélectif concernant les futurs immigrants, de manière à laisser entrer seulement des musulmans nominaux et laïcs.
