Ratio Legis of Religious Law Practice in State of Law, Indonesia

Abstract

Indonesia is a state of law that is perceived as neither a religious nor a secular state. The relationship between religion and state is critical in the Indonesian constitutional framework. The majority of Muslims in the population do not significantly transform the country into an Islamic state. In the formulation of the state ideology, there was a debate on an Islamic and a secular state. These ideological differences were addressed by the emergence of the state philosophy named Pancasila.
