Since the early ages of human, religion is one of the factors that shapes societies. Literature which is one of the most important component that conserves the human and the civilization has also been in contact with religion. Since the first Muslim Turkish state Karakhanids, Turkish belief system predominantly has been the Islam. When Turkish literature is examined, it is seen that artists include Islam in their works of art one way or another, sometimes they use art as an instrument and try to transform the sense of religion of the society and sometimes they use religious elements as a material of their work of art. Talip Apaydin, one of the socialist-realistic authors of our literature was acquainted with the social life as he grew up in the village and used to teach at a village institute. Especially in his novels, he tried to mirror the society by reflecting the various values of them and sometimes he used his novels as a tool to adopt his own thoughts to society. In this respect, it is important to look at the religious perception in his novels to comprehend how he evaluates the religious structure of the society as a village institute writer. In addition to this, in Talip Apaydin example, the manner of approaching of the artists and their relevance to the religion perception in line with the policy of the Republican period novel will be presented. Moreover, it is remarkable to see how Apaydin's novels which emphasize the enlightened and epistemological approach consider religious values by creating an ontological contrast.
