Abstract

Several studies have found that Indonesian youths (17-24 years old) are vulnerable to religious radicalism. As a result, fostering tolerance among them has been critical. This article describes how Indonesian youths understand religious tolerance and then offers suggestions to foster the attitude of tolerance among Indonesian youth through Muslim-Christian dialogs. For that purpose, a Focus Group Discussion (FGD) was held with ten Indonesian youths (five Muslims and five Christians), which discussed open questions about the issue of tolerance. The discussion's outcomes were examined using a theoretical framework of religious tolerance and inter-religious dialogue. So practical suggestions are obtained for fostering tolerance among Indonesian youth. Such as theological understanding that leads to tolerance and pluralism.

Abstract

The paradigms of world religions often influence Indonesia's general understanding of religion. Indigenous religious practices are often labeled as animistic practices. The adherents of the Indigenous religion are often regarded as worshipers of trees, mountains, and the like. Such is the case with adherents of the Indigenous religion in Java Island (Kejawen). From the results of a literature study that utilizes various literature and paradigms related to the existence of religion in Indonesia, this study tries to look further into the position of Kejawen in the Indonesian constitution. The results of this study found that Kejawen adherents still experience many discriminatory actions due to the lack of comprehensive understanding of the Indonesian people regarding the importance of symbolic recognition and the resources of Kejawen teachings. In addition, Kejawen adherents also feel they have a historical burden because they are not considered adherents of a religion "recognized" by the State. Kejawen is often associated with occult and shamanic traditions. The Indonesian constitution clearly states that the State must be fair in guaranteeing and giving freedom to every citizen to choose, adhere to, and practice their religions or beliefs. Kejawen, as part of the Indigenous religion, should also be protected and guaranteed its rights and freedoms and placed in an equal position with other religions.
