I'm an Indonesian atheist
In my country,you CAN'T be an atheist. Because you MUST have a religion in order to became a citizen.
Is there anyone else who have the same problem as i am ?
Can you declare a religion without having to participate in it?
welcome to the forum. I have heard of that, damn shame. Maybe in another 50 years or so eh?

I can't either, our country sucks, doesn't it? Welcome to the forum. :D
Tinggal di mana? Gw di Jakarta. :)
no,you can't declare you are an atheist. you are forced to choose between 6 religions.
i think that's the worst part, goverment doesnt care you are religious or not,as long as you dont show it.
kinda pointless i think,everyone who atheism is pretending to be a theist in public hahahaha.

File an appeal to become a Toothfarianist. I'll back you up on it and tell em you're ordained.

On another topic...
I have a friend of mixed South-East Asian descent who enjoys going to Renaissance Fairs here in Southern California. What would be a traditional woman's garb between the years 1300 to 1600 of the Western calendar?
She usually goes in Western Renaissance clothing, simply because that's what we know about here in the US, but she would like to show up in something authentic to her heritage.
off course, and the leprechaun is my prophet no ? lol

I prefer Invisible Pink Unicorn as the Goddess to be honest. :))
Here in my country the tooth fairy actually brings money, cold hard cash to kids in exchange for teeth. You should petition your government to allow her dental deity to at least visit and be allowed to worship her as you please. It's not as if kids there don't lose teeth..

you can try batik garb, if i'm not wrong batik has been indonesian clothing from 600 AD. you can search more about batik sir :D
Can you fake it without having to devote any time or effort?
In that case I suppose it could be worse.

Interesting. Batik is a type of cloth, but when I google "Batik clothing" I get links to some very beautiful clothing.

That is unhappy news.
Are you allowed to convert to another religion that isnt as demanding, or is everyone else still obligated to do what the Muslims say?
I hope you can find a legal loophole or something to get out of your situation.

Where I live, if you can't eat pigs feet you're considered unpatriotic.
True story...
