Abstract
This paper will analyze Indonesia Jangan Diam (IJD) movement through their critics to religion as institutionalized community. This paper also will cover how they transfer religious Biblical narratives becoming pivotal roles in constructing their ideas of nationalism. By this account, this Christian youth movement implies a struggle between secularism principles and religious narratives in addressing their understanding about nationalism and statehood. This paper eventually argues that IJD movement represents the rise of spirituality expression, rather than religious expression. This case also interplay at the same time with chalenge and critics to priesthood authority structures, in which slowly indicates the decline of congregational membership. This paper also addresses IJD under perspective of civil religion suggested by Robert Bellah, in the sense of compromising Biblical narrtives into axis of their principles in commitment towards their natonalism.
