- Abstract
Indonesia is a country that consists of various ethnic groups, cultures and religions. Religious differences have the potential to social conflict if mutual respect is poor, or too concerned about other people’s religious affairs. The issue can certainly threaten Indonesia’s unity. Through this religious humanism approach it is expected that it will foster awareness that God’s law that teaches affection for others can be used as a basis for citizens’ behavior in social, national and state life. This paper aims to describe the process of optimizing civic education as a religious humanist education in higher education. This study employs a qualitative approach that is descriptive over reality with the aim of interpreting social phenomenon in the form of case studies obtained from print media, electronic media and literature. In the research, it is found that there is still prohibition of celebrating religious commemoration and the difficulty of building houses of worship which shows that there is intolerance. This can cause relationship disharmony among religious communities. Optimizing civic education by emphasizing religious human values can build harmony in religious life.
