Abstract

The intolerant attitude developing in the contemporary Indonesia becomes a problem that must be immediately solved because this can threaten the religious life and the unity of the nation and the state. This paper aims to discuss the problematic concept of tolerance-intolerance by applying the sociological perspective with the expectation that the result will provide contribution in the moderate religious way of life in the Indonesian perspective. This research concludes that if the differences and diversity are not managed well, intolerance will be the result. The differences and diversity existing in Indonesia must be considered as uniqueness and cultural richness for the purpose of unity. Through this understanding, the seeds of exclusivism, radicalism, and fanaticism can be erased. Research Contribution: The research result will provide contribution toward the establishment of tolerance practical values among religious followers in the grassroot level and form the moderate attitude in the middle of the society so they accept pluralism as the living standard of a healthy state.
