Indonesia's Court Decision on Religious Identification Provokes Discrimination Concerns

Credited from: SCMP

  • Indonesia's Constitutional Court recently faced backlash for denying a petition to recognize atheists on identity cards, igniting fears of discrimination.
  • The ruling mandates that all citizens must declare a religion on official documents to access vital services like healthcare and education.
  • Critics, including NGOs and academics, argue that this decision underscores a long-standing misinterpretation of constitutional rights concerning religious freedom.
  • Concerns have been raised about the ruling contributing to increased religious polarization in the country, which is home to diverse belief systems.
  • Advocates for reform argue for greater recognition of non-religious identities and the need to prevent religion from being merely an administrative requirement.
