Abstract

In Indonesian political context the plausibility of religion is very high, both at individual and at societal level. People normally think that religion and state are not seen as totally independent. Religion should not be marginalised in public policies, and the state should deal with religious matters. In the same time we found the rise of religious fundamentalism and its influence on Indonesian politics. This particular situation shows the problematic relationship between religion and state in Indonesia. The dividing line between religion and state in today’s Indonesia is very thin at some points; and the role of religion in the legislative and executive branch receives a lot of attention in public debate. In this article we would like to examine empirically the attitudes of Indonesian students in higher education towards the relationship between religion and state. We will elaborate on the relationship between the religious convictions of individuals, and the influence of these convictions on their ideas about the separation of religion and state. We expect that university students attitudes are highly relevant regarding respect for religious freedom in domains where the state exercises control. The tension between religion and state is indeed visible in concrete legislation. Keywords: religion-state relation, liberalism, communitarianism, religion, Islam, Kristen, empirical research, Indonesia

Abstract

Abstract One of modern practical theology's task is what so-called descriptive-empirical task. In this sense practical theology does require an empirical approach for her reflection. Therefore practical theologians should have sufficient skills in using methods of field research. Traditionally qualitative methods have been known more among theologians. And in the same time some people suspect that quantitative methods are not suitable and cannot explain any theological problems. Some others concern and think that quantitative methods only work deductively and it is against the tradition of theology from below which normally works inductively. This essay would like to show how quantitative methods can work within theological field and give theologians an alternative approach when they want to empirically understand particular religious community. Obviously we realise that social sciences such as sociology and social psychology have developed quantitative methods in their researches for long time. In the spirit of interdisciplinary approach we owe them some explanations in running particular quantitative analyses.   Abstrak Satu tugas dari teologi praktis modern saat ini adalah deskriptif-empiris di mana teologi harus memahami situasi lapangan secara empiris. Terkait dengan hal ini teologi praktis memerlukan pendekatan empiris sebelum melakukan refleksi teologisnya. Dan dengan demikian maka seorang teolog praktis harus memiliki keterampilan yang memadai dalam menggunakan metode-metode penelitian lapangan. Secara tradisional metode kualitatif sudah dikenal dengan lebih baik di antara para teolog. Dan pada saat yang bersamaan beberapa orang curiga bahwa metode kuantitatif tidak cocok dan tidak dapat menjelaskan permasalahan-permasalahan teologis. Beberapa orang lain berpikir bahwa metode kuantitatif bekerja secara deduktif dan hal tersebut melawan tradisi teologi dari bawah yang semestinya bersifat induktif. Tulisan ini hendak memperlihatkan secara kritis bagaimana metode kuantitatif juga dapat bekerja dalam teologi dan memberikan alternatif pada para teolog ketika mereka hendak memahami suatu komunitas religius secara empiris. Tentu kita menyadari bahwa ilmu-ilmu sosial seperti sosiologi dan psikologi sosial telah lama mengembangkan metode kuantitatif ini dalam penelitian-penelitian yang mereka lakukan. Dalam semangat pendekatan interdisipliner kita berhutang pada mereka tentang bagaimana analisis-analisis kuantitatif dijalankan.
