English term or phrase: sociologists bent on screening...
Similarly, the debate about secularization is ‘bedevilled’ by sociologists bent on screening out the veritable ‘unthought’ that governs their dogmatic
un-receptivity—roughly, the assumption that ‘this is all there is’; but the underlying ‘unthought’ that drives this characterization escapes sceptical comment

sociólogos inclinados a detectar y descartar el "no pensamiento"


Explanation:
Creo que screen out combina la denotación de "detección", "examen" o "identificación", con la de "erradicar", "expurgar", "eliminar".

Para ser honesta, hay un término que me gusta para estos contextos y es "desmalezar", referido a rebuscar y arrancar elementos no deseados en el pensamiento, en un campo teórico, en un sistema, etc.
Como imagen es muy eficaz porque transmite rapidamente la idea. Pero fijate si te va. De otro modo, pondr´'ia "detectar y erradicar".
