The main religion is Islam. Bali is close to 100% Hindu NOT Catholic! Timor has a large population of Catholics because of the Portuguese influence in the past (although East Timor is no longer a part of Indonesia of course). In Papua and part of Sulawesi and Borneo, Christians and Muslims are about 50/50 with most Christians following Protestantism as a result of the Dutch rule of the country for several hundred years. There are also small populations of Animists (traditional religion which honours nature and ancestors) in remote places such as parts of Sumatra and Borneo. Simply put though, the majority of people follow Islam although it tends to be a fairly liberal interpretation with alcohol being freely available and many women not covering their heads!

let me correct some of the answers above...
indonesia is not a muslim country. indonesia is a pluralistic country, the government is not based on certain religion.
but Islam holds the majority of its people.
so we can say that indonesia is the larget MUSLIM POPULATED country, NOT the largest muslim country.
hope this clear things up a bit.

Indonesia is the number one Muslim country in the world when counting people.
Fortunately the majority of Indonesian Muslims is not orthodox (or worse) and is tolerant and not aggressive.

Erlish and Pugsley have it right.
The 2 people who claim that Bali is Catholic and that Indonesia is Hindu are either joking or sadly ignorant.
