Being Moderate in Religious Societies

Abstract

The thought of learning religious moderation is important because students have a low understanding and behavior about religious moderation. This paper reveals some realities and thoughts about learning religious moderation. Religious moderation is not taught as a lesson in all Religion Subjects in schools, but only as lesson development, which is very dependent on the initiative and competence of a teacher. Thoughts on religious moderation include spirituality, local wisdom, plurality, nationalism, and profiles of religious leaders who advocate moderation. The government should initiate a religious moderation learning movement by asking all teachers to convey moderation messages, for a few minutes while teaching. The messages are focused as previously mentioned.
