Regulations on religious freedom vary widely from country to country. Several factors, including country history, culture, and religious demographics, can influence these different approaches to religious freedom. Considering all these aspects, this paper explores the differences in regulating freedom of religion between Indonesia and Canada by applying normative legal research methods. The studies concluded that the difference in regulating religious freedom between Indonesia and Canada lies in how they officially recognize religion, restrict the construction of places of worship, provide legal protection, prohibit discrimination, and approach multiculturalism. Although Indonesia recognizes several official religions, its legal application and protection may need to be clarified and more potent than in Canada, which has a more comprehensive and robust legal framework protecting religious freedom and respecting religious diversity.
