Not long ago, the Indonesian Survey Institute (LSI) released a report titled "Evaluation and Public Commitment to Pancasila".

One of the findings in the report relates to religious freedom in Indonesia. It was noted that the majority of respondents, or 97.3%, claimed to be free to practice the religion of their choice.

This proportion consists of 56.6% of respondents who feel very free and 40.7% who feel quite free.

Meanwhile, a small proportion of respondents, or 1.6%, actually feel unfree to practice their religion, with details showing that 1.1% feel less free and 0.5% feel very unfree.

In line with this, LSI found that 98.3% of respondents believe that the Unitary State of Indonesia is important for life in the nation and state of Indonesia.

This survey involved 2,020 respondents aged 17 and above spread across Indonesia. The respondents were selected through a multistage random sampling method.

Data collection was conducted from March 4 to 12, 2026 through face-to-face interviews with trained interviewers, with a survey error tolerance (margin of error) of around 2.2% and a confidence level of 95%.
