Abstract

The current use of social media in society of today’s post truth era, is omnipresent. With social media, people interact and communicate, as well as disseminate information and so forth. On the contrary, the irresponsible use of social media can disrupt religious harmony. Because of this, this article focuses on the discussion of how social media in the post-truth era plays a role in keeping and maintaining harmony both internally and among different religions. This research belongs to the category of library research, which relies on an in-depth analysis of primary and secondary sources. The results of this study indicate that the development of digital literacy becomes an urgent matter so that people become more careful in receiving or forwarding news in order to strengthen the building of internal and inter-religious harmony.
