Abstract

Indonesia is an archipelago consisting of various ethnicities and religions. Where Pancasila as the nation’s ideology states that the state is based on the One Godhead, which means that every religion in Indonesia has the same belief in One God. This meeting point is what unites multicultural life. Unity in this diversity, if not cared for properly, will lead to disintegration in the nation and state, especially the emergence of the phenomenon of radical understandings in society. In this case, the idea of religious moderation becomes important as a unifying foundation in the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia. This study aims to describe the idea of religious moderation and its actualization in the framework of Bhinneka Tunggal Ika in Indonesia. The method used is a literature study. This study concludes that in the life of multiculturalism, the role of religion is very important in shaping people’s awareness to accept differences as a unity (Bhinneka Tunggal Ika). The idea and attitude of religious moderation in the form of acknowledgment of diversity as a gift from God Almighty can be synthesized to deradicalize. Thus it will establish a life of harmony, tolerance, and mutual respect in all differences.
