Secularism in Turkey

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Secularism in Turkey was introduced with the 1928 amendment of the Turkish Constitution of 1924 by removing the line "The Religion of the State is Islam" and later the Atatürk''s Reforms set the administrative and political requirements to create a modern, democratic, secular state aligned with the Kemalist ideology. After nine years of its introduction, laïcité was explicitly stated in the second article of the Turkish constitution on February 5, 1937. The current Turkish constitution neither recognizes an official religion nor promotes any. This includes Islam, which at least nominally more than 99% of its citizens subscribe to.[1] Turkey''s "laïcité" does not call for a strict separation of religion and the state, but describes the state''s stance as one of "active neutrality."
