The United States is a secular country where the government does not recognize one religion as an official religion. But interestingly the country continues to build togetherness between religions, there is even a term of harmonization of Muslim minorities with minorities in the United States.
Not only that, America is also known as a country that is considered as a country that has an emphasis on foreign countries such as Palestine and Iran, it is valued in terms of stability with its political strategy outside.
Why do I say the harmonization, because in America it still applies religious nationality, where the values of diversity between countries become a common goal. These values include:
a. Believe in God.
b. Human rights.
c. The diversity of religions in the United States
Previously America refused the existence of Muslims, and the mosques were burned and made into medical places, this happened because of cultural and religious misunderstandings.
From this incident, President Bung Karno was asked to visit the United States, but Bung Karno still provided conditions for later being able to visit the United States. The condition is that the Americans are asked to find a meal of one Muslim figure namely the tomb of Imam al-Bukhori.
Finally the food was found, then the first president (Bung Karno) of Indonesia visited the United States asking to be returned to the mosque as a place of worship as usual and move back.
Well, over time the Muslim Ummah in the United States became the second largest religion after Christianity. Then also from a variety of different cultures, religions and languages, the United States government allows it as long as it follows the procedures that have been applied in the United States
Then from that state the United States is classified as a secular state, where the government system guarantees religious freedom for each of its citizens and an open government system
