Adat Musi

Adat Musi is one of the native religions in Sulawesi, which is practiced by the Talaud people. Adat Musi also refers to the religious organization called "Adat Musi Church". Adat Musi adherents believe that Bawangin Panahal received revelations from God and from an intermediary called Onto'a or Onto'a Ruata. [1]

Aluk Todolo

Aluk Todolo is the ancestral ethnic religion of the Toraja people which is still practiced today by a large number of Toraja people. In 1970, Aluk Todolo was protected by the state and officially categorized as a Hindu religion, so it is often referred to as "Hindu Alukta". [2] Aluk Todolo is one of the oldest religions which in its development was greatly influenced by the teachings of Confucianism and Hinduism. Therefore, Aluk Todolo is a belief that is dynamic pantheism in nature. [3] [4]

Islam Tua

Islam Tua or Masade is a belief system of the Sangir people which developed in the Sangihe Islands Regency, North Sulawesi. Islam Tua is the term given by outsiders to adherents of this belief because they consider some of its teachings to be closer to the Islam religion, while the followers themselves call it Masade. [5] Due to pressure from the Indonesian government and the development of the times, this religion has undergone several name changes. At first this religion was known as the Masade religion, then Handung Islam, then Penghayat, and finally this religion was called by some Sangir people as Islam Tua. [6]

Lamoa

Lamoa is a form of native belief that was previously widely adhered to by the indigenous people of Poso Regency, they are Pamona people in Central Sulawesi. The form of worship is called Molamoa which is dedicated to Pue Mpalaburu (the supreme God). [7] [8]

Tolotang

Tolotang (sometimes written as Tolottang or Towani Tolotang) is an ethnic religion of the Bugis people which is practiced by the majority in several areas in the province of South Sulawesi, especially in Sidenreng Rappang Regency. Around 5,000 people in Amparita village, Sidenreng Rappang have adhered to this religion for generations. Because the Indonesian government only officially recognizes six religions, the rest are categorized as "Kepercayaan Terhadap Tuhan Yang Maha Esa", and also Tolotang adherents do not want to be called a faith, they eventually merged with the Hindu religion. Therefore, until now this belief is also known as Hindu Tolotang. [9]

Tonaas Walian

Tonaas Walian is an ethnic religion practiced by the Minahasan people in North Sulawesi. Tonaas and Walian also refer to the names of religious leaders in the Minahasan languages. [10]
