What does the Indonesia report establish about a partner still believes?
For a partner still believes in Indonesia, Rage 2 Rebuild selects “Six religions, no non-religion” from Humanists International’s chapter dated 26 October 2020. It describes national institutions or published conditions, not family reactions, emotions or access to an individual service. Check current facts before acting.
Country chapter updated 26 October 2020 · retrieved September 5, 2026. This chapter is more than two years old. Its assessments are not confirmation of current law or a prediction about your circumstances.
Six religions, no non-religion
For the time being it remains the case that Indonesia recognizes only six official religions—Islam, Catholicism, Protestantism, Confucianism, Buddhism, and Hinduism—and requires its citizens to adhere to one of these. Persons who do not identify with one of the six official religions, including people with no religion, continue to experience official discrimination. This discrimination occurs often in the context of civil registration of marriages and births, and other situation involving family law.
Education and children’s rights
Most students attend state-run, non-sectarian (but not entirely secular ) schools. Even outside of Islamic schools, the national education system instructs children in the principles of participation in the modern nation-state along somewhat nationalist lines. The teaching of the state ideology, Pancasila , has diminished somewhat but remains, with its heavy emphasis on monotheism as the primary tenet of national identity.
Violations against women
The government have failed to address abusive, unscientific “virginity tests” of women who apply to join the military, or to institute measures to curb female genital mutilation, which continues to be used in rites of passage in some areas.

Which Indonesia findings should I check before acting?
Rage 2 Rebuild highlights 4 published findings for a partner still believes in Indonesia. Our selection connects the 26 October 2020 chapter with partnership agreements, family-law context and shared parenting. Each quote is separate from our practical question. It identifies something to investigate, not a conclusion about your household.
Prohibitive interreligious social control (including interreligious marriage bans)
A family or personal-status issue may require more than an agreement between relatives. Formal jurisdiction, consent and the actual procedure matter.
A question to verify: Which authority handles this particular family or relationship decision, and what independent advice is available?
Religious control over family law or legislation on moral matters
A family or personal-status issue may require more than an agreement between relatives. Formal jurisdiction, consent and the actual procedure matter.
A question to verify: Which authority handles this particular family or relationship decision, and what independent advice is available?
The non-religious are persecuted socially or there are prohibitive social taboos against atheism, humanism or secularism
The report describes social or institutional pressure. That context matters, but it cannot predict the response of one family or community.
A question to verify: Who would learn about the decision, and what essential support could change if that happened?
Systemic religious privilege results in significant social discrimination
This finding is about institutional arrangements. It does not establish the beliefs of a resident, a relative or a specific official.
A question to verify: Which named institution is involved in this decision, and what current written rule should be checked?
What if my partner still believes and I do not?
For a partner still believes in Indonesia, Rage 2 Rebuild suggests this decision: Choose one household agreement that needs an explicit conversation. The two starting points below address partnership agreements, family-law context and shared parenting. Check consequential facts with appropriate current help; these are reflection prompts, not a certified procedure.
Make the hidden agreements visible
Attendance, money, food, religious objects, family visits, intimacy and raising children may all carry assumptions that were never discussed. List the agreements that have changed and the ones that still work. A disagreement about a ritual may also involve belonging, identity or fear about the relationship’s future.
Protect consent on both sides
Neither partner should have to perform belief, accept unwanted religious activity or be mocked into changing a worldview. A workable conversation distinguishes a request, an invitation and a requirement. It also leaves room for a genuine no.

How did religious identity change in Indonesia?
Rage 2 Rebuild’s Indonesia table shows Less than 0.1% religiously unaffiliated in 2010 and Less than 0.1% in 2020, using Pew’s all-age population estimates. The seven categories describe religious identity, not how many individuals left religion or experienced harm. Rounded population changes cannot predict acceptance, guilt, safety or a support outcome.
| Identity | 2010 | 2020 | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Christian | 9.9% | 10.3% | +0.4 pp |
| Muslim | 87.5% | 87.0% | -0.5 pp |
| Religiously unaffiliated | Less than 0.1% | Less than 0.1% | Not calculated |
| Buddhist | 0.7% | 0.7% | 0.0 pp |
| Hindu | 1.7% | 1.6% | -0.1 pp |
| Jewish | Less than 0.1% | Less than 0.1% | Not calculated |
| Other religions | Less than 0.1% | 0.4% | Not calculated |
“Other religions” combines traditions that cannot be analyzed separately here. A “less than” input stays an inequality; a change involving it is not calculated. Rounding and demographic processes matter. Nationality does not establish anyone’s beliefs.
