“…Presumably, individuals with strong religious fundamentalism are less likely to recognize universal virtues in other religions. This finding might be related to citizenship values in Indonesia which is not based on one religion, but the government and the ideological system formally suggests the citizens to affiliate with one of the six religions recognized by the country ( Pedersen, 2016 ). People without religious affiliation are deemed uncivilized compared to the ‘modern’ citizens of the nation-state ( Pedersen, 2016 ).…”

People without religious affiliation are deemed uncivilized compared to the ‘modern’ citizens of the nation-state ( Pedersen, 2016 ). It implicitly demonstrates that identification with one religion that an individual believes to be the truest is mandated, but it is not expected to invalidate the virtues of other religions.…”

The rise of exclusive puritanism movements challenges several communities to live in peaceful coexistence. This research aimed to observe the level of interreligious contact among university students. This was a threefold study. The first part was an initial inquiry to construct an interreligious contact scale. The second sought to see the inferential association between interreligious contact, belief in religious teachings (i.e. religious fundamentalism, kindly religious belief, and meta-religion endorsement), and collective narcissism. The third part was to investigate differences in those variables between students who joined student political organizations with religion-based ideology and those who did not. There were 381 respondents from various religious backgrounds (e.g. Muslim, Christian, and other) participating in this research. The result of the exploratory factor analysis indicated a unidimensionality of the interreligious contact scale. Regression analysis found that religious fundamentalism and collective narcissism made individuals less likely to exhibit interreligious contact. However, kindly religious belief and meta-religion endorsement encouraged interreligious contact. In addition, an independent sample t-test suggested that there was a difference in the inclusivism level between religion-based student organization members and non-members. Members of such organization tended to exhibit a lower level of interreligious contact, while their level of religious fundamentalism and collective narcissism were higher compared to their non-member counterparts.

“…The preferred terms for religious accommodation are harmony and balance, yet those terms lack a firm definition when faced with strident primordial claims that would deny social justice to others. In Indonesia, Islamist groups apply political pressure for laws and policies that would benefit the perceived interests of the Muslim majority over citizens of religious faiths (Fanany and Fanany 2021;Pedersen 2016). That is a form of theocratic political populism.…”

Challenging Islamist Populism in Indonesia through Catholic Youth Activism

This paper reports data from a study of young Catholic activists. They were concerned about the expansion of Islamist populism in democratic Muslim-majority Indonesia. They actively built inter-faith coalitions with local liberal Muslim youth groups and with pan-national Nahdlatul Ulama (NU), the largest independent Islamic organisation in the world. Islamist populism prioritises religious identity over the national identity of citizenship. In framing their citizenship activism against the current tide of Islamist populism, the informants in our study selectively engaged aspects of Catholic theology. They articulated their religious identity as coterminous with a nationalist identity centred on multi-faith tolerance and harmony. That discourse in itself refutes a key principle of Islamist populism in Indonesia, which argues for primordial entitlement.
