According to global standards, religious nationalism is in the US in relatively low, but it stands out in comparison with other high -income countries.
This statement for the public was translated from original English into Turkish.
In the new Pew Research Center covering thirty countries It has been found that people living in medium income are more likely to be “religious nationalists (religious nationalists) compared to people living in high -income countries. But religious nationalists In any country conducted, the research did not represent the majority of the population.
In this report, in our research, people who occupy a strong religious attitude towards all four basic problems associated with the role of religion in national identity and administration were classified as “religious nationalists” (religious nationalists).
The prevalence of religious nationalism among countries in which the poll varied: less than 1 percent of adults participating in a study in Germany and Sweden filled the criteria, while in Indonesia (46%) and Bangladesh (45%), this rate was over forty since. In this analysis, only 6 %of adults are classified as “religious nationalists” (religious nationalists), while the historically dominant religious text of their countries (the Bible in this case) now It is more likely to say that it has great or some effect on national laws. In addition, people now have such an effect compared to people in other high -income countries (compared to holy texts in other countries requested) what They are more inclined to say.
Most Turks say that religion helps society (84%) and stimulates tolerance (90%). Two -thirds think that Turkey can be a Muslim and democratic state. However, compared to other countries, we ask the Qur’an, a segment that wants the Qur’an to influence the national law in Turkey, is much smaller. In fact, 31 percent of adults are in the Turkish law of the Holy Book of Islamic Religion. Not He thinks he shouldn’t have an effect.
Unlike other countries involved in the survey and dominated the Muslim population, only 32 %of Muslim Turks support the idea that Shariah or Islamic Law for Muslims in their countries, while partially or strongly supporting, almost half (most majority (48 % ) opposes.

Additional findings:
