The removal of established religion from a nation; the ending of government privileges to one church. The process of enacting separation of church and state in a nation which formerly did not have it.

An advocate of disestablishment is a disestablishmentarian; an opponent is a theocrat as well as a (brace yourself!) antidisestablishmentarian.

I like it!
