31:03Now PlayingThe silent revolution brewing in Iran against Islamic orthodoxy is palpable, with a groundbreaking study by the Islamic Republic's Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance unveiling a dramatic shift towards secularism. According to the confidential report, leaked to Iran International, a staggering 73% of Iranians now support the separation of religion from state, a significant leap from less than 31% in 2015. This surge in secular sentiment is a direct response to the Mahsa Amini protests, marking a profound challenge to the regime since its 1979 inception. The study, drawing on responses from over 15,800 Iranians across all provinces, highlights a societal pivot away from religious adherence, with 85% observing a decline in religiosity over the past five years. Moreover, a notable 81% anticipate this trend to continue, contrasting sharply with the mere 7% who felt more religious and the 8% who saw no change. Attitudes towards the mandatory hijab have also evolved, with 38% expressing tolerance towards non-compliance, a significant shift from 10.6% in 2015. Furthermore, the study reveals that only 11% regularly engage in congregational prayers, while 45% have never attended Friday prayers, and 19% have never read the Quran. This data underscores a critical and growing divergence from the government's Islamist ideology, suggesting a future Iran potentially anchored more in secular governance than in religious mandate.
