MODEL-MODEL EMPIRIS RELASI AGAMA DAN NEGARA DI INDONESIA: BAGAIMANA KEPERCAYAAN AGAMA MENENTUKAN RELASI ANTARA AGAMA DAN NEGARA?
ABSTRACT: In Indonesian
political context the plausibility of religion is very high, both at individual
and at societal level. People normally think that religion and state are not
seen as totally independent. Religion should not be marginalised in public
policies, and the state should deal with religious
matters. In the same time we found the rise of religious fundamentalism
and its influence on Indonesian politics. This particular situation shows the
problematic relationship between religion and state in Indonesia. The dividing
line between religion and state in today’s Indonesia is very thin at some
points; and the role of religion in the legislative and executive branch
receives a lot of attention in public debate. In this article we would
like to examine empirically the attitudes of Indonesian students in higher
education towards the relationship between religion and state. We will
elaborate on the relationship between the religious convictions of individuals,
and the influence of these convictions on their ideas about the separation of
religion and state. We expect that university students attitudes are highly
relevant regarding respect for religious freedom in domains where the state
exercises control. The tension between religion and state is indeed visible in
concrete legislation.
