In the first level, using descriptive statistical methods (frequency, mean and standard deviation) and in the second level, using inferential statistical methods (one-sample t-test), the data obtained from the questionnaire questions were analyzed. And research questions are answered. Research shows that religious beliefs do not conflict with democratic values. At the same time, the traditional view of religion and its imposition on members of society is not very acceptable.
