1 INTRODUCTION
Religious moderation is an understanding that must be owned by all
individuals, particularly in Indonesia country, because Indonesia is a
country with a lot of diversity ranging from ethnicity, religion, culture,
race, and others [1]. Such diversity requires all individuals to
understand how to respect and how to tolerate each other without
destroying others' faith or belief. For example, is in terms of Islam.
Islam teaches its adherents to respect each other and love fellow

causes many people to fall into evil and cause conflict between
individuals.
Conflict often occurs between religious communities. One of the
examples is the dispute that occurred in Tolikara, Papua where
worshipers were dispersed during their worshipping by other religious
groups, causing such great conflicts. This indicates that the tolerance
attitude in Indonesia is still low [3]. Another dispute that occurred is a
dispute that has recently occurred during this pandemic where many
people prioritize their personal interests over common interests. Islam
teaches about applying solutions such as worshipping at home since
the worship places are closed during pandemic. However, there are
still many people who carry out worship in the worship places of each
religion. This indicates that the understanding of moderation religious
community during the pandemic is very critical [4]. Therefore, it is
urgent to fix this critical understanding of individual religious
moderation.
Therefore, based on the understanding issues that have been
described above, then the understanding of religious moderation
needs to be taught to individuals from school age so that students will
have provisions and characters who understand religion and
