The trend is going in the opposite direction, globally. A measure of this is the spread in popularity of hijab, as well as more extreme coverings. The challenge which is arising is the inexperience of Islamists in politics after decades of repression.
In case of Pakistan in particular, a recent survey of 5000 Pakistanis between 18 and 29 showed the opposite of what you claimed. The army and religion were the most popular institutions.
