<![CDATA[This study analyzes the role of Christian Religious Education (CRE) in countering intolerance shaped by political interests. The issue is important because intolerance in Indonesia is no longer limited to differences in religious belief, but is also reinforced through identity politics, digital disinformation, and the use of religious symbols for political mobilization. Previous studies have discussed tolerance within Christian education, yet only a limited number specifically examine how CRE can respond to intolerance produced by political interests. This research employed a qualitative literature study using content and thematic analysis. Literature was selected from journal articles, books, policy documents, and relevant studies on CRE, intolerance, political identity, digital media, and civic ethics. The findings show that CRE can function as a space for developing critical awareness, ethical political literacy, dialogical reflection, and tolerant character based on Christian values. This article argues that CRE needs to move beyond a merely doctrinal approach toward contextual learning that connects faith, social responsibility, and public ethics. The study contributes to the reconstruction of CRE as an educational practice that forms students who are religiously rooted, socially sensitive, and resistant to intolerant political narratives.]]>
