Aliran Kepercayaan

'the branches/flows of beliefs') is an official cover term for groups of followers of various religious movements.

It also includes various, partly syncretic forms of mysticism of new religious movements in Indonesia, such as kebatinan, kejiwaan, and kerohanian.

[3] According to Caldarola, kepercayaan "is not an apt characterization of what the mystical groups have in common".

Many of those who practice Kepercayaan describe it as more of a meditation-based spiritual path than a religion.

[citation needed] Indonesia's Constitutional Court in November 2017 ruled that followers of faiths outside the 6 recognized religions are allowed to state "Kepercayaan kepada Tuhan YME[note 2] in their national identity cards, as a 7th category for Aliran Kepercayaan after judicial review launched by followers of Marapu religion, the Parmalim, Kaharingan, and Sapta Darma [id].
