The aim of the study is to understand the current process in debates about religion, society and secularization. The scope of the study is the relationship between secularization, society and religion in recent years with its theoretical and factual aspects. The main problem addressed is how secularization interacts with areas such as culture, social change and religion in the modern world. In this regard, the study uses a descriptive method. According to the findings, modernity has led secular forms to shrink the areas influenced by religion, while secularism has created new interaction areas alongside religion. Furthermore, the study discovered that new global and technologically based cultural and social development processes had positive influence on secularization dynamics. According to another study’s findings, secular and religious forms coexist in the social realm today and appear to be interwoven.}, number={70}, publisher={Pamukkale University}
