Kondapavuluri Indonesia is a very bad example here. Indonesian constitution
don't recognize all religion is secular sense The government recognizes only
six official religions (Islam, Protestantism, Catholicism, Hinduism, Buddhism
and Confucianism).[4][5][6] Although based on data collected by the Indonesian
Conference on Religion and Peace (ICRP), there are about 245 non-official
religions in Indonesia
The constitution of Indonesia don't recognize
any religion until they proclaim that they believe in monotheism. If some
people or religion have belief in polytheism than it is not recognized in
Indonesia. For that reason Animists are bound to declare themselves as Hindus
[Hindu priests there have declared Hinduism to be Monotheistic belief]
Buddhists are mandated to declare themselves as
Monotheists
Buddhism is a non theistic religion but for the
sake of recognition they also have to declare themselves as Monotheists. See
the following extract from Wiki
"Following the downfall of President
Sukarno in the mid-1960s, Pancasila was reasserted as the official Indonesian
policy on religion to only recognise monotheism .[40] As a result, founder of
Perbuddhi (Indonesian Buddhists Organisation), Bhikku Ashin Jinarakkhita,
proposed that there was a single supreme deity, Sang Hyang Adi Buddha."
For some years in between Indonesia banned
Chinese religions and Atheism is not recognized. Ahmaddiyahs as usual are discriminated.
Salafis are now entering Indonesia and it will
not be long before they radicalize the general liberal outlook of Indonesians
and arabize the Indian languages sounding names of malls, streets etc
Only good example I can think of is Turkey and
the main credit goes to great "Mustafa Kemel Atraturk"
