ABSTRACT
Secularism during the AKP rule in Turkey is a complex phenomenon. It leads to difficulties in defining the relationship between state/politics and religion in this country. The article is an attempt to identify the type of secularism we can observe nowadays in Turkey and to propose a slightly new conceptual approach. It is possible thanks to the analysis of the functioning of the secular system in this state in the past and nowadays as well as answering the questions: How is the Turkish secularism changing? Is the process of change linear? Should we talk about secularism or rather post-secularism in Turkey taking into consideration the process called by some scholars the “subtle Islamization”?
