The idea of secular state was shaped into Turkish culture by Ataturk. A secular state is a concept of secularism, where a state or countryis neutral in matters of religion, supporting neither religion nor irreligion. A secular state also claims to treat all its citizens equally regardless of religion, and claims to avoid privileged treatment for a citizen from a particular religion/nonreligion over another. Secular states do not have a state religion or equivalent, although the absence of a state religion does not make a state secular. A minority of secular, communistnations have historically enforced the significance of the concept, state Atheism, on their populations by way of religious censorship and persecution. However this continuity was changed when the Democrat Party made a push towards Islamic culture.
