This study examines humanism in Christianity as a theological and ethical foundation for opposing practices of discrimination among religious communities in Indonesia. From philosophical and theological perspectives, Christian humanism asserts that every human being possesses equal dignity because they are created according to the imago Dei, the image and likeness of God, leaving no theological or moral justification for discriminating against others. Humanistic values in Christianity emphasize love, respect for differences, and cross-faith solidarity as expressions of true faith. The universal love of God calls the church and Christians to be witnesses and agents of peace in a pluralistic society. In the context of Indonesia, which is diverse and often marked by interreligious conflicts, Christian humanism serves as a transformative force that upholds justice, peace, and respect for human rights. This humanism is not merely an ideal concept but a practical expression of faith, calling every Christian to manifest God’s love concretely in social life. Thus, Christian humanism functions as a moral and spiritual foundation for building a civilized society that respects human dignity regardless of religious or cultural background. This study employs a qualitative method with a literature analysis approach in philosophy and Christian theology.
