Abstract

This research was aimed at revisiting religious moderation in Indonesia related to idealism, trending research on it, and the challenges in the digital era. This research used qualitative-textual approach based on Murray Edelman’s framing analysis and content analysis. The present research resulted three points. First, “religious moderation” was the culmination of the “Jakarta Treatise on Religious Life in Indonesia.” The term had contained semantic problems related to the definition and the concepts of reality. As a solution, this revisiting research proposes more appropriate terms “moderatism in religion” or “moderatism in religious thought.” Second, the trend of 859 research on religious moderation were classified into seven categories. They were 1) the concepts, 2) the principles, 3) the multiperspectives, 4) the values, 5) the education, literacy, and mainstreaming, 6) the implementation, and 7) the multi contexts of religious moderation. The most prominent trend was on education, literacy, and mainstreaming religious moderation with 351 studies (40.9%). Third, this research had also found that the challenges of religious moderation include (1) the existence of conservative groups which showed a lot of resistance toward many religious organizations and or the Religious Communication Forum, (2) the genealogical radicalism, the transnational radicalism, and socio-political-economic factors faced by the millennial generation, (3) the great danger of fundamentalism practices which often showed fanatical, textual, and exclusiveness in attitudes, thoughts, and behaviours for implementing the new normal policies.
