I am just flirting with the idea here...:).
Kemalism is somewhat far from being a religion as it is staged now. But it bears some early signs to become a "political" religion unlike no other seen so far: It has a heroic, yet not alive (thus eternal), leader. A cultural purpose. A unifying idea. It has morality. An ethical code. It passionates, therefore capable of transforming itself into a radical and extremist ideology. And it has even dress codes such as banning the scarf...But more importantly: does it have any "followers"?
