Description: The Tengger and Baduy tribes represent the tribal societies in Indonesia that hold a unique local religion. The existence of this local religion deserves to be protected by the nation to give comfort to its devotees when they worship according to their belief. This constitutional recognition and legal protection is stated in Article 28E Paragraphs (1) and (2) and Article 29 Paragraphs (1) and (2) of the Indonesian Constitution. This regulation is not complete and requires to be elaborated in several delegated legislations. The existing problem is to make space for the local religion to emerge with its own identity without being referred to any particular religion. At the implementation level, protection for local religion is not yet perfected. Therefore, regulation needs to be more widely implemented to guarantee protection for local religion in the Constitution.
