If they do this, and then prosecute Islamites who harm others, to the full extent of the law (execution when necessary) Bangladesh might even become free.

Any country doing this is taking a step in the right direction. Religion is a barbarous relic of humanity's ugly past. Burn the churches too.

Definitely a step in the right direction. Religion must have no place in the government. The news from the Islamic world is mixed. Once secular countries such as Turkey and Indonesia are rapidly becoming Islamized. And the only good news is coming from Bangladesh.

Bangladesh could drop Islam as the country's official religion following a string of extremist attacks against people of other faiths. The supreme court in the South Asia nation has began to hear arguments which challenge Islam's status as the official state religion. It comes after a spate of attacks against people of other religions such as Hindus, Christians, and minorities Shi'ites, which have been blamed on Islamic extremists.

I'll keep a wait and see attitude about that news.
Definitely a step in the right direction. However, I am afraid that it came too late for the minorities, especially the Hindus and the Buddhists. The Hindus have declined from 28% of the total population in 1941, to less than 8% by 2011. The Buddhists used to be the overwhelming majority in the Chittagong Hill Tracts until the 1970s. Now, they have been reduced to a minority.
I'm not sure if this is good decision.
If Bangladesh have serious issues with some radicals from Islam, they should stop and persecute this people, not criminalize and judge whole religion.
Can institution or religion as organization be responsible for individual acts of all Muslim people?
I don't think so.
Each person should be responsible for his own acts, not whole organization.

They did not say that they want to criminalize religions. They only should not be part of the goverment anymore.
Religions are a free choice that every individual can decide for themselfes.
That's all to it.
Surely radicals won't like that and attack.
Exactly, what they're doing is just removing the religion from their politics, which is exactly how it should be, people who try to claim otherwise are just being deliberate pricks and are overreacting like when you say that a lot of Islamists have no problem with anti-semitism and seem to think persecuting homosexuals is okay.

India is pushing them to be secular over a long time. But they are still 'considering'.

Secular countries are the most peaceful, that's a simple fact. It's a shame to see countries like Turkey fall further and further towards a religious based government, which actually goes against all the idea's of the founder of the country. Religion is so short sighted and only creates conflict.
welcome to the civilised world
