Turkish secularism

Turkish secularism, established by Mustafa Kemal Atatürk in the early 20th century, is a political system separating religion from state affairs. It aims to promote a modern, democratic society where religion does not dictate laws or governance. This principle ensures equal rights for all citizens, regardless of their faith, and supports freedom of belief. Turkish secularism has faced challenges over the years, with varying degrees of influence from religious groups in politics, but remains a cornerstone of Turkey's identity, reflecting its commitment to a diverse, inclusive society.
