DEMOKRASI DI INDONESIA Antara Pembatasan dan Kebebasan Beragama

Abstract

Democracy has been understood differently. Law no.1/PNPS/1965 which is previously recognized as protection of religious followers is recognized as limitation that denied principle of democracy recently. The polemic of religious freedom ended with proposal of judicial review on law no.1/PNPS/1965 proposed by some group of societies. This proposal, finally, is rejected by prime court. This rejection can be corrected since UUD 1945 follows an expressive relativism on religious freedom. Because of the existence of ambiguous words in such law, revision is really needed so that there will be a clear explanation related to who has the authority to determine whether certain religious teaching is wrong or not. It is important to solve the problematic matters faced by government and certain religious groups.
