 ISLAM
Indonesia is the world's most populous Muslim-
majority country, with 85 percent of its citizens
identifying as Muslim. Traditionally, Muslims have
been concentrated in the more populous western
islands of Indonesia such as Java and Sumatra. In
less populous eastern islands, the Muslim
population is proportionally lower. Most
Indonesian Muslims areSunnis. Around one
million areShias, who are concentrated
aroundJakarta.
 PROTESTANT
Protestantism arrived in Indonesia during theDutch
East Indies (VOC)colonizationin the sixteenth century.
VOC policy to ban Catholicism significantly increased
the percentage of Protestant believers in
Indonesia.Missionary efforts for the most part did not
extend to Java or other already predominantly Muslim
areas.The religion expanded considerably in the 20th
century, marked by the arrival ofEuropean
missionariesin some parts of the country, such as
Western New GuineaandLesser Sunda Islands.
Following the 1965 coup, all non-religious people were
recognised asAtheist, and hence did not receive a
balanced treatment compared to the rest of the
citizens.As a result, Protestant churches experienced
a significant growth of members, partly due to the
uncomfortable feeling towards the political aspirations
of Islamic parties.
 CATHOLIC

Catholicismarrived in Indonesia during

the Portuguese arrival with spice
trading.Many Portuguese had the goal of
spreading Roman Catholicism in
Indonesia, starting
withMoluccas(Maluku) in 1534.
Between 1546 and 1547, the
pioneerChristian missionary,Saint
Francis Xavier, visited the islands
andbaptisedseveral thousand locals.
 HINDU
Hindu culture and religion arrived in the Indonesian
archipelago in the first century, roughly coinciding with
the arrival ofBuddhism.This resulted in a number of
Hinduism-Buddhism empires such as
Kutai,MataramandMajapahit. ThePrambanan Temple
complexwas built during the era of Hindu Mataram.
The greatest Hindu empire in the archipelago was
Majapahit. The age of Hindu-Buddhist empires lasted
until the sixteenth century, when the
archipelago'sIslamicempires began to expand. This
period, known as the Hindu-Indonesia period, lasted for
sixteen centuries.The influence of Hinduism and
classicalIndiaremain defining traits of Indonesian
culture; the Indian concept of thegod-kingstill shapes
Indonesian concepts of leadership andSanskritis used
in courtly literature and adaptations of Indian epic
poetry.
 BUDDHISM
Buddhism is the second oldest religion in Indonesia,
arriving around the sixth century.The history of
Buddhism in Indonesia is closely related to the history of
Hinduism, as a number of empires based on Buddhist
culture were established around the same period.
Indonesian archipelago has witnessed the rise and fall of
powerful Buddhist empires such
asSailendradynasty,SrivijayaandMataramEmpires. The
arrival of Buddhism was started with the trading activity
that began in the early of first century on theSilk
Roadbetween Indonesia and India. According to some
Chinese source, a Chinese traveler monk on his journey to
India, has witnessed the powerful maritime empire of
Srivijaya based onSumatra. The empire also served as a
Buddhist learning center in the region. A number
ofhistorical heritagescan be found in Indonesia,
including the Borobudur Temple in Yogyakartaand
statues orprasasti(inscriptions) from the earlier history
of Buddhist empires.
