Religious freedom and religious tolerance in Indonesian law

I Gede Sutrisna Adhi

Abstract: 

Religious tolerance is the path to religious freedom, and the right to practice one's religion is recognized as a human right that is protected by both national and international law. The goal of this normative study is to determine whether Indonesian law guarantees religious liberty and tolerance. The Republic of Indonesia's 1945 constitution includes a provision for the right to religion as a human right, allowing everyone to practice their faith in accordance with their beliefs. Tolerance among religious communities can foster religious freedom. Therefore, religious tolerance is an obligation to preserve national unity and the right of every individual to freedom of religion.
