Abstract

Malaysia sebagai sebuah negara pelbagai budaya dan agama terdiri daripada lima kaum yang utama: Melayu, Cina, India, Kadazandusun dan Iban. Menurut Perlemhagaan Persekutuan, agama Islam adalah agama rasmi di Malaysia. Walau bagaimanapun, Bahagian 2, Artikel 11 Perlembagaan Persekutuan menyatakan setiap orang berhak mengamalkan agamanya dengan syarat tidak melakukan apa-apa perbuatan yang berlawanan dengan undang-undang am tentang ketenteraman awam, kesihatan awam atau akhlak. Agama yang diamalkan di Malaysia termasuk agama Islam, Buddha, Hindu, Kristian, Sikh dan Baha’i. Kepercayaan Tao dan Konfucius juga dianuti oleh masyarakat Cina. Pribumi dan beberapa suku kaum di Sabah dan Sarawak mengamalkan animisme. Artikel ini memberi satu perspektif tentang bagaimana masyarakat daripada pelbagai agama dan budaya menggunakan agama dan kepercayaan masing-masing dalam membuat keputusan moral.
