Summary
Eksistensi Sunda Wiwitan mulai dipertanyakan di era post-truth. Masyarakat penganut Sunda Wiwitan yang berada di Kampung Adat Cireundeu terbuka akan perkembangan zaman, masyarakat adat telah memanfaatkan teknologi, seperti penggunaan smartphone dan televisi. Durkheim lebih jauh menekankan bahwa keyakinan agama tidak lebih dari cerminan masyarakat itu sendiri, ritual keagamaannya memperkuat sosialisme kelompok dan menegaskan keyakinan pada tatanan moral. Guna keperluan definisi tindakan harus ada “pencapaian”, suatu keadaan masa depan yang akan dikejar oleh tindakan tersebut, dalam hal ini tujuan yang ingin dicapai oleh budayawan adat Cireundeu yakni pemaknaan agama lokal Sunda yaitu Sunda Wiwitan sebagai identitas budaya setelah leluhur mereka yakni Kyai Haji Ali mendapatkan kebenaran spiritual dari hasil pengembaraannya. “Keadaan” dalam hal ini adalah masyarakat adat Cireundeu bersikap terbuka pada perubahan namun perubahan tersebut mengkondisikan mereka dalam situasi bahwa Sunda Wiwitan tidak dikelompokkan sebagai suatu agama oleh pemerintah. Hal ini terjadi setelah proses transformasi masyarakat adat Cireundeu, penganut kepercayaan Sunda Wiwitan, yang tidak sebatas menikah dengan penganut agama lain. Sebagaimana amanat penegak hak-hak sipil dalam undang-undang tentang hak asasi manusia
