Introduction
Religious moderation (known in Bahasa Indonesia as Moderasi Beragama) is a value concept that emphasizes mutual respect and tolerance among different religious groups.In practice, religious moderation is a middle way from the existence of two different streams of understanding, namely the "ekstrim kanan", which implements religious values that are believed radically and view other religions as unfavourable, and the "ekstrim kiri", which tries to separate religious values from social life and the state.Religious moderation is built as a middle way that accepts differences and upholds a harmonious life in a society where tolerance and respect for differences are an inseparable part of society [1], [2].
Religious moderation is a significant value to apply in social life.It is based on the fact that Indonesia is a plural country that has diversity ranging from diversity of origins, ethnicity, interest groups, culture, religion, and others.The values of religious moderation should be used as unifying values amidst the existing differences in society.The values of religious moderation characterize the Indonesian people who want to realize a harmonious life in the community and respect the differences that exist and make it the social capital for development, not a source of division and social conflict [3], [4].
Various efforts have been made by the government to promote religious moderation, starting from outreach activities directly to religious leaders and community leaders [5], [6], conducting visits and discussions with the community in various agencies and workplaces [7], [8], and visiting schools to promote religious moderation for children and youth.This effort is expected to build an understanding of the importance of the value of religious moderation to be applied in everyday life, from children and youths to adults who should realize a life based on religious moderation [9], [10].
The youth should have an understanding of the values of religious moderation.It is because the younger generation is part of Indonesian citizens who should uphold the existing values of diversity; also, the youth should be a generation that can be a driving force in building religious harmony and tolerance.On this basis, the government's efforts to promote religious moderation include promotion to youth.
