Anti-clericalism
Anti-clericalism is a historical movement that opposes religious (generally Catholic) institutional power and influence in all aspects of public and political life, and the involvement of religion in the everyday life of the citizen. It suggests a more active and partisan role than mere laïcité. The goal of anti-clericalism is to reduce religion to a purely private belief-system with no public profile or influence. At times, its goals have included competed eradication of faith or particular faiths. Anti-clericalism has at times been violent, leading to attacks and seizure of church property.
