Summary/Abstract: In societies that ensure social integration, it is observed that the institutions of religion and politics do not exhibit a confrontational character. In these societies, the "social distance" between social structure and cultural structure is gradually decreasing. In Turkey, the relationship between "religion and politics" has always been a problem, especially from the republican period to the present day. As a result, the social distance between social institutions in Turkey is gradually increasing. In the solution of this problem, it is important to know the attitudes/mindsets of the individuals/officials (those who are educated in theology and politics) who will be the official representatives of these institutions. The sample group was evaluated according to many parameters. As an important indicator, when the sample group is evaluated according to the place of accommodation during their education, it shows a great difference. It has been observed that the students studying at the Faculty of Theology stayed in rented houses and religious community dormitories at the highest rate, and only 5% of them preferred KYK dormitories. In particular, it can be said that the houses of the Faculty of Theology students, which they describe as rented houses, are under the control of religious communities. As a matter of fact, in the interviews with the students and in the explanations written by the students in the questionnaire form, it is understood that these houses are the houses of religious communities, they are cheaper, and especially the parents of female students prefer these houses because they find them safer. It can be said that the place of shelter has an important function in socialisation and attitude development. As a result of the research, it has been determined that students who live in houses or dormitories under the control of religious communities that understand Islam differently will be confrontational and political in their understanding of religion. This difference affects other areas of life in the dimension of "contradiction" in Turkey.
