Sample Text	Secularism, which can be defined as the institutional structuring of secularization, has two aspects: Ensuring the coexistence of freedom of religion and conscience and different understandings in society, and preventing religious exploitation from establishing tutelage over the state. The distinction between solid secularism and passive secularism that emerges at this point also significantly affects the decisions of the Constitutional Court. Freedom of religion is not a right that can be used unlimitedly. Although freedom of religion often finds its limits in other fundamental rights, it must be interpreted separately in each concrete case in terms of different communities and the areas it protects. In the article, problems related to freedom of religion are evaluated in detail in the light of the decisions of the Constitutional Court and the European Court of Human Rights., Laicism, which could be described as the institution of secularism, has two aspects: Guaranteeing the freedom of thought, conscience and religion, enabling the coexistence of different opinions within the society, and preventing the dominance of religious exploitation over the state. At this point, the distinction between absolute and flexible laicism appears and significantly influences the decisions of the Turkish Constitutional Court. The freedom of religion cannot be enjoyed in an unlimited way. Although the limits of the freedom of religion are mostly rooted in other fundamental rights, they should be interpreted differently in each cir- cumstance, depending on various societies and the field of protection of the rights. In this Article, the problems regarding the freedom of religion have been considered in detail in the light of decisions of the Constitutional Court and the European Court of Human Rights.
