What does being a Bosniak mean for a non-religious person?

Question

I did search google, and it said that Bosniaks are primarily Muslim. I was wondering if you could consider yourself Bosniak but not practise Islam, or any religion really.

Answer 1

I think they prefer “Bosnian”

Bosnia is a country. It’s like calling yourself Italian. Most Italians are Roman Catholic but that is not a requirement, same with Bosnians and Islam. And only like 50% of Bosnians are Muslim.
