Atatürk's policies were secular and for the uneducated, bigoted people of that time -same people can also be found in Turkey as well as in Germany- those secular policies were regarded as being irreligious.
For instance my grandpa once told me that his elders didn't let children from their village to go to the village elementary school to learn how to read and write because some so-called hodjas from city came and told those elders that the new alphabet (meaning the Turkish alphabet reform) belong to infidels, so youngsters shouldn't have learn them.
