      ** Atheist/non-believer

      Does not believe in any religion, but it may include deists, who believe in Allah or another god but outright deny Islam.

      2008: 2%

      2025: 8%

      ** Believer/cultural muslim

      Recognizes Allah and Mohammad, but drinks at least occasionally. The “liberal Islam” model that was artificially enforced by Mustafa Kemal Atatürk. Does not fullfill the duties the religion entails, such as praying, maybe aside from like twice a year at Eid. One can literally wear bikini in the street and say “inshallah”.

      2008: 31%

      2025: 34%

      ** Religious

      Cares about religion and strives to live accordingly, but has no intentions for counter-revolution. Does not approve of LGBTQ+ rights or so, but respects the secular republic. German Turks and the Erdogan voter base.

      2008: 55%

      2025: 46%

      ** Extremist

      Islamic cults, Kurdish tribes, political lobbying or militant movements. De facto declared “unwanted” by the Kemalist rule. There has been no decrease considering they have little to no contact with society.

      2008: 12%

      2025: 12%

      Correct title: “KONDA research: Religiousness is decreasing, faithlessness is increasing”

      Increase in non-religion from 2% to 8% since 2008.

      Religious percentage is still 92%. Very much still the majority.

      “Time to destroy the education system I guess”. – Erdoğan (probably)

      Although it could be anecdotal, I know many atheist younger girls/boys would not report themselves as atheists because of familial relationships.

      So I believe the rate of atheists is at least the double or triple, the standard deviation is a lot higher.

      The article says they ask “do you define yourself as religious” which used to be 55% and now it decreased to 46%.

      I’m muslim and I appreciate this. We got enough of politicians who use religion

      And turks in western Europe are both more muslim and more supportive of Erdogan than turks in Turkey.

    15. Boru-264 on

      Religious(46%) and devout (12%) counted together is 58%, well over half.

      Ah yes a sample size of 6137 is definitely enough to represent an entire- highly heterogeneous- country with population of over 80 million.
