Agama, Ekonomi, dan Perubahan Sosial “Refleksi Pemikiran Karl Marx tentang Kondisi Agama dan Sosial Ekonomi di Indonesia”

Abstract

Religion as defined by Karl Marx can be reflected in the socio-economic life of Indonesian soci- ety by being linked to one’s religiosity. Karl Marx gives an illustration of class conflict (class conflict) which causes despair and apathy to the oppressed (proletariat). One way to deal with this is to con- sider religion only as a place to complain, even the extreme way is to alienate religion itself. Chan- ges in thinking about religion and current reality in Indonesia are strongly influenced by changes in people’s lifestyles due to capitalism which is increasingly globalized and requires them to survive. Things that emerged later were individualist attitudes to get the right to life in the economic, politi- cal, and social fields.
