When Public Governance Turns Religious (Only for One Particular Religion)

Malang, 29 December 2017

I can never understand why do these people always try to enforce their own religion's rules to other people. Indonesia is a secular country not a religion-based country. Religion is supposed to be a personal business.

Why do they like to apply Islamic sharia for public governance? Which Islam? Is it Islam based on their own interpretation? They have closed the possibilities to allow other perspective in practicing the religion, which is supposed to be a fully personal right. They have acted as a god already. How dictatorial and how intolerant!

Being religious does not guarantee them to be a good person. Being irreligious does not mean the person is bad. Good or bad in social life is supposed to be regulated by state's laws, NOT by someone else's religion. Whether he's a theist or an atheist, he is punishable if he contravene the law, NOT the other's religion!
