The end of secularism

The way to discussing secularism has been cleared. Because up until today it was like a dogma that needed to be obeyed. Secularism is represented with the seventh arrow on the Republican People's Party (CHP) flag since 1937. Principles like reformism, populism, statism have gone forever. Yet, secularism is strongly defended. Because secularism is the CHP's reason for existence and foundation. The SF, TPF, Democratic Party (DP), National Order Party (MNP) and Welfare Party (RP) were closed down in our political history. The CHP mentality, which represented the regime, shaped every attempt that steered away from its own politics. Lastly, it attempted to pull down the AK Party using secularism. The Bureaucratic oligarchy was intervening in everything around it using secularism. This understanding is based on secularism and Kemalism toppling the religion and state formula and establishing a secular government regime instead. The religion and state formula which Muslim societies have adopted throughout history is important in terms of the relation between state and religion. This is a theory developed by Imam Ghazali. The Seljuks and the Ottomans continued to use this political theory. This theory is based on an understanding that combines religion and the state. The state is presidency, religion is the society and practice. The state is the authority of the political public sphere, religion is the authority of civil public sphere. The state makes legislation based on this. Religion gives fatwas, or makes Islamic rulings. The state has the principle of not acting in adverse to religion.
