This research is an original work written with emancipatory spirit about the phenomenon in the society caused by the disciplinary of religion conducted by the Nation through the presence of official religions, and the writing of this thesis have no intention to put any party in responsibility for the inconvenience following that action. Instead of pro- tecting the people’s right to have faith in their own belief as stated in the constitution, the Nation suppresses ethnic societies who has local belief to convert into one of the official religions in Indonesia, namely Islam, Catholic, Christian, Hindu, Buddhist. A gap existed when the nation only recognized “imported” religions as the official religions while the local beliefs which are the original religions of the ancestors only considered as cults and their believers are considered as “kafir”/infidel. This phenomenon can be seen in the peo- ple of Tengger Brang Kidul who live at Ngadas, Malang Regency, East Java.
