Abstract

Although multiculturalism in Indonesia can be a blessing, it also poses a threat because, if left unchecked, it may give rise to conflicts and division. This debate is especially true when sensitive issues are involved. In such cases, tolerance and respect toward inter-religious differences are pivotal, and discussions on religious moderation become salient. This article discusses how to conduct religious moderation that is in accordance with government regulations in Indonesia and the local societal context. This paper is a literature review aiming to collect and extrapolate a pattern from existing studies about religious moderation in Indonesia. The finding highlights the importance of interpreting religious moderation as a middle path of a multicultural society and the role of inter-religious tolerance and respect. Cultural diversity is a natural phenomenon arising from a melting pot of various cultural differences. Each individual and ethnic group has unique cultural behavior and way of living, so a middle path is needed to maintain social order and harmony.
