Religious Moderation
RELIGIOUS MODERATION is the process of understanding and practicing religious teachings in a fair and balanced manner, so as to avoid extreme or excessive behavior when implementing it.
A moderate perspective and attitude in religion is very important for a plural and multicultural society like Indonesia, because only in this way can diversity be addressed wisely, and tolerance and justice can be realized.
Religious moderation does not mean moderating religion, because religion in itself already contains the principles of moderation, namely justice and balance. It is not religion if it teaches destruction on earth, injustice, and wrath. Religion does not need to be moderated anymore. However, one's way of practicing religion must always be pushed to the middle ground, must always be moderated, because it can turn out to be extreme, unjust, even excessive.
This book contains discussions on what religious moderation is, why we need it, and how to strengthen and implement it, both in personal life, as well as in society, nation and state.
