Walaikumas Salam Selim I, nice to meet you. Thank you for the information, I do believe most Turkish people are devout Muslims - since Turkey has been the heart of Islamic Caliphate for 500 years. Maybe only the elitist class of Turkey is prone to Atheistic kind of views. But I hold Turkey with utmost respect.
The thing is, Secularism is a part of Islam. Secularism tells us to respect other's faiths and not force any religion upon anyone. Real secularism is not kicking out religion from matters, that is instead atheism. In my opinion, overall, Turkey is doing the best among all muslim countries in every sector. There is very little religious extremism in Turkey like that in Pakistan and so many other countries. At the same time, they are not too liberal like that of Europe for example. Quran itself says there is no compulsion in religion, to each their own. I tend to think Turkey's model of secularism should be followed by all Muslim countries.
