Gumilyov Eurasian National University” is devoted to the study of the phenomenon of religiosity of students, which will allow to study its features and serve as an instrument for improving measures aimed at the formation of secular culture in the educational process. The principles of secularism and tolerance among students make one of the bricks of the foundation of a stable state.

The author attempted to determine the general level of religion and the level of secularism among students. The value of the study lies in the empirical methods for use: to interview the target group and to analyze the documents. The survey was conducted on the basis of the developed questionnaire; the number of students involved in the survey was 9,000 people in 13 faculties. The theologian of the university, specializing in Islam, developed religious cards for students, which were the subject of analysis of documents. Religion cards were developed as part of the task related to the prevention of religious radicalism among students and limited to the reach of Islamic believers. Based on the results of the analysis, the author draws conclusions and gives recommendations.
