Abstract

Religious Moderation is one of the pillars of religious harmony that needs to be implemented in the life of a plural Indonesian society. The implementation of the pillars of religious harmony is not only visible in the real world, but also in the digital world. Because cases of religious conflicts and disputes between social media users are still massive, it can even be a trigger for religious conflicts in the real world. This study explores religious moderation in the digital world and analyze it with the model of faith and cultural relations, namely Christ the transformer of culture (CTC). This study used descriptive qualitative method. The results of the study reveal that Niebuhr's CTC Model presents three meanings of digital culture in implementing the values of religious moderation. The role of these three meanings is: digital culture actually provides positive changes with loads of religious values that encourage humans as God's creation to have a mutually constructive and harmonious life. Second, digital culture actually produces transformation for humans created by God to improve the quality or quality of the humans themselves. Third, digital culture actually produces cultural transformation with noble goals and for the good of humans themselve.
