Özet
This study consists of two main themes. The study primarily focuses on the founding cadres of the Republic, who seemed to have a goal of keeping distance from religion, had the motive of keeping religion under control. In this context, the main claim of the study is that the Republic of Turkey has a \"Césaropapist\" thought rather than \"Secularist\" patterns. Even though some practical disengagements regarding to the social life, such as the change of alphabet, regulations for dress, reciting the call to prayer in Turkish, were implemented, administrative staff and institutional structures continued to carry the characteristics of Ottoman Empire. While the existence of the Presidency of Religious Affairs is used to ensure the regulation of religion under the control of the state; On the other hand, this institution is manipulated by the political elites as the \"ideological state apparatus\" since religious beliefs have the potential to shape social life. The result of the study is that the Republic of Turkey is not secular, on the contrary, Césaropapist, and the Presidency of Religious Affairs has become the \"ideological state apparatus\", supported by some historical, political and sociological examples.
