According to him, the program for the subject religious studies needs to be updated because the situation today in Kazakhstan are not the same as it was ten years ago when he created the tutorial.

'Religion is not mathematics. Themes are changed in connection with the circumstances, conditions. In this respect, it is necessary to show new aspects in the understanding of secular society, in the relations of state and religion.
