Clashes with religious people.
Religion is something that effects the concept of "morals" and it is also a huge part of traditions. Although I am not directly affected by my religion, it is an important part of social education in Turkey therefore it would not be correct to say that I'm completely unaffected.
I just feel some kind of energy that affects me according to how I feel.

If I dont face a deadly threat it doesnt. If I do , then I'm a believer.
It doesn't effect that much.
Only in cultural aspect like meeting with family during thw breakfast in ramadan

Almost all of my friends and my boyfriend are muslim. So, sometimes conflicts emerge among us.

Not in a single heartbeat, I am living my own life. There is no time-place to think about religion in my life.
It does not, other than monthly attacks of terror.
If I feel believing, I start to behave on the way which my religion says or I am confused about Should I do what my religion say or should I do my rights.

It shapes my whole life. I do anything according to my religion.
