М. Вебер открыл, что истинно религиозные смыслополагания играли в прошлом решающую роль в создании условий всеохватывающей рационализации человеческого мира. … Это определённая религия – аскетический протестанизм -целиком исходит из собственных предпосылок и совершенно сознательно направлена на обработку мира с целью его разволшебствления

demagification
Explanation:
The word seems to be a neologism or author-driven coinage. Demagification would be a literal translation and the word exists in English! (see links)

Many thanks! I have also found other Weber links with this rendered as 'disenchantment' of the world.

taking away the magic


Explanation:
After spending some time trying to puzzle out the coding, worked out that the word asked for is "разволшебствление".

Can't find this word as such in dictionaries, but "волшебство" means "magic", among other things, so a meaning of taking away the magic seems logical.
