Because of governmental system that acknowledged six official religions (Islam, Christian, Catholic, Hindu, Buddha, and Confucius), Indonesia as democratic country are judged by international world doing religious discrimination on other religious minority group (outside official religion). The role of MUI as authoritative religious agency, exactly, worsen religious belief conflicts by giving label "deviant" on new religious/stream/belief out of mainstream official religions. Hegemony interests of religious majority groups (organizations) as moral power that has the right to claim about the truth in governmental system has jeopardize pluralism structures in Indonesia. Pluralism by MUI is forbidden with the reason of insulting religious truths. While Islam as major religion follow by Indonesian community has explained that pluralism is a reality that become natural law and could not be denied.
