Orang Asli and Religion

Assalamualaikum friends..

Have you ever know what is the religion of Orang Asli?
Are they Muslims? Christians? Hindus? or Buddhists?

Let me share some knowledge that i got from our visit to Orang Asli Museum.

During the visit, there was a staff of the museum who give a very detail explanation about Orang Asli. One thing that I interested in is about religion of Orang Asli. Do you know why I'm interested in it? This is because, when I visits around the museum, I did not find any written material about their religion, the staff is only the one who explained about it as he had spent his time with Orang Asli since childhood.

From what had been told by the staff, most of Orang Asli are atheists. Atheists is those who did not embrace any religion. If there are Muslims who comes and spread da'wah to them, they will embrace Islam, if there is Christians who comes and tell them about Christians, they will embrace Christian. Sometimes they will easily change their religion.

As the staff shared about this, I keep wondering why this happened. And the conclusion that I can make is that they did not have much information about religions. They only heard about religion when there are people who comes and tell them about it. They did not have access to the internet which makes them only know about religion on the surface. The religious people also should play their part. They cannot just share about the religion on the surface for one and two times only. They should do follow up and keep giving information about the religion until the community there really understand it.
