Mustafa Kemal (Ataturk) wanted to modernize Turkish life in order to give it a better sense of dignity and happiness. He introduced many reforms like fez hats being replaced by normal European hats, the people that lived in Turkey had surnames and the Western calendar was being used instead of the Islamic one. He made Turkey more secular since he was separating his people from Islamic culture.
Secular - of or pertaining to worldly things or to things that are not regarded as religious, spiritual, or sacred; temporal: secular interests.
