Abstract

This study aims to determine the influence of a multireligious environment on the attitude of tolerance in religious moderation of children and adolescents in the Wijaya Kusuma Housing Complex. The background of this study departs from the conditions of Indonesian society which is pluralistic, where religious diversity is an important part of social life. The Wijaya Kusuma Housing Complex is one of the areas with residents with different religious backgrounds, making it the right place to observe how interfaith social interactions influence religious moderation attitudes among the younger generation. The results of the study indicate that the multireligious environment and attitudes of tolerance in religious moderation of children and adolescents in the Wijaya Kusuma Housing Complex. shows that the better the conditions of the multireligious environment, the higher the level of tolerance and moderation attitudes possessed by children and adolescents. Factors of interfaith social interaction, joint social activities, and the role of community leaders have a major contribution in shaping moderate and open attitudes towards differences. This study confirms that a religiously heterogeneous social environment can be an effective learning medium in instilling the values of religious tolerance and moderation from an early age. Therefore, synergy is needed between families, educational institutions, and the community to continue to strengthen the culture of mutual respect and appreciation of differences in a multicultural society.
