Abstract
This paper aims to discuss the role of religion in a democratic society, especially in Indonesian context. The author states that the role of religion is concerned with empowering of civil society and maintains religion from politicization and manipulation. Hence, the value principles such as controlling, humanity, liberation and justice must be done in order that religion has great and deep meaning for human being. Briefly, if state is aware to outward aspect of human being as a citizen, religion is aware to inward aspect (spirituality) of human being. Religion can reduce corruption, poverty, unemployment if religion gives meaning for its followers.
