DITANYAKAN


Perdebatan tentang Indonesia sebagai negara agama atau negara sekuler masih berlanjut sampai saat ini. Sebagian menilai Indonesia bukanlah negara sekuler dengan kehadiran sila pertama dalam Pancasila yang berbunyi, “Ketuhanan Yang Maha Esa.” Sebagian lagi berpendapatan Indonesia adalah negara sekuler karena keberagaman yang ada di dalamnya.

CATATAN : Tulisan bagus.

KESIMPULAN SAYA
Jadi Indonesia bukan termasuk STATE RELIGION atau pun SECULAR STATE, merujuk pada keyword STATE. Kita ini masuk kategori SOVEREIGN STATE, yang menurut @google berarti “berdaulat”, “merdeka”, dsb. Rasanya ini jawaban yang paling enak.

Jadi kalau ada buku yang cenderung ber-tema “Sekular” dan “Abad Pencerahan” seperti ini, ya telen-telen aja kalau mau. Paling tidak, untuk pergaulan internasional.
