My wife and kids worship at the beautiful new Catholic church ~400 metres from our house. My nieces do the same at a Protestant church a short distance in the opposite direction. My son-in-law and his parents do their Buddha thing in a nearby temple. There is a synagogue in Surabaya to cater to the handful of Jews there.

They are all Indonesians, and seem to be doing as they please.

I’m two minutes walk from St Theresia’s church and school were hundreds of Indonesian Catholics are educated and happily worship daily without any problems whatsoever, the Angelus bells are ringing harmoniously with the Adzhan as I write. My next door neighbours are Christians as were many of my neighbours in my former home in the Tebet area.

Guess it depends on where you live. I have a cousin and her husband in Indonesia who are in fear for their lives because they are Christians.
