This paper aims to analyze the future of religious pluralism as religious coexistence in Indonesia, amidst the wave of religious conservatism worldwide. This research uses a library research approach to explore data in building arguments for predicting the coexistence of religious communities in Indonesia. This study found that Islam provides freedom to choose and believe and worship according to their respective beliefs. The choice of a belief is a free personal choice, so the MUI's view regarding the haram of religious pluralism does not represent the views of Muslims in general. And the coexistence of religious people in the view of pluralists is very wide open even in an era that leads to a conservative turn like today. But it could fail to materialize if the truth claim among religious people, especially Muslims, is increasingly crystallized and tends to lead to extreme fanaticism.

This study aimed to describe the genealogy of the Religious Studies Program of UIN Ar-Raniry Aceh in developing the value of religious moderation. Religious moderation is an attitude, perspective, mindset, and way of behaving in carrying out religion with the nature of tawassuth (middle), tawazun (balanced), and tolerance. In principle, the purpose of religious moderation is harmony. In Indonesia, the development of religious studies in other higher education institutions is encouraging news so that the search for religious conventions can provide more alternatives. This study was conducted using a qualitative method that produces descriptive data with a phenomenological approach. Data collection techniques used were observation, interviews, and documentation with inductive data analysis. The results showed that the Indonesian government’s efforts to ground the values of religious moderation through the mouthpiece of the Ministry of Religious Affairs have strategic values, but it is not as easy as turning the palm, it will solve the intolerance problem.
