Abstract

Assessing the will of Iranians regarding the relationship between religion and government in Iran is one of the topics that in the fourth wave of surveying the values and attitudes of Iranians has a great difference from the previous waves. Examining the results of the religiosity chapter of the recent survey of values and attitudes shows that the people of Iran have unexpectedly demanded the separation of religion from politics. This general perception of the result of this survey is not consistent with the historical conditions and tradition of several thousand years of Iran, because in the history of Iran, religion has always been connected with Iranian identity and has been mixed with politics. Also, the field evidence for this conclusion has not been clearly evaluated in the survey, and it is not clear how such a break in the society was formed in a short period of time. Therefore, in this article, based on the secondary analysis method, this result will be re-evaluated. This evaluation will be done first by measuring the validity of the desired item. Finally based on these analytical levels, a macro summary will be presented in this field.
