Abstract

This study departs from the fundamental problem of determining religion in Indonesia and the perspective related to the obligations of the Indonesian people to embrace a religion. Considering that the fundamental Law of the Indonesian nation is Pancasila, the first principle of which is the belief in One God. To discuss the problems in this research, a juridical-normative approach is needed. The juridical-normative approach is used to find out policies regarding religious obligations in Indonesia. The results show that although the government does not explicitly oblige the Indonesian people to only adhere to religions recognized by the government. They are namely Islam, Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism, and several religions that may exist in Indonesia, and their adherents are Sunda Wiwitan, Kaharingan, Parmalim, and other beliefs. Passed down from their ancestors, they get legally discriminatory treatment in practice.
