“…On the other hand, societies also need to promote social unity, which can be challenging when different religious beliefs and practices conflict with one another, or when some groups feel marginalized or excluded. This tension between diversity and unity lies at the core of the dilemma of religious tolerance (Ernaningrum, 2022).…”

Religious tolerance is a critical issue in pluralistic societies such as Indonesia. Without tolerance, the expressions of beliefs can lead to fanaticism, conflict, and hostility that negatively impact social security and stability. This article addresses the dilemma of religious tolerance by exploring and connecting the concept of “the Other” in Emmanuel Levinas’ thought as an ethical subject who requires protection and respect for the individual with the discussion of tolerance indicators in the context of religious moderation. This qualitative study employs a literature review method, with data collected through literature review and analyzed descriptively using Emmanuel Levinas’ philosophical perspective. The results indicate that religious tolerance in the framework of religious moderation, as found in Emmanuel Levinas’ thought, entails the recognition and respect for the identity of the “Other”. The “Other” is an ethical subject with the right to live free from discrimination and oppression. In the framework of tolerance, the “Other” is not merely allowed to exist and differ but necessitates the growth of respect and appreciation through fair and respectful treatment of those who are different. From Levinas’s viewpoint, the practice of religious tolerance must be carried out by considering the concept of ethical relationships between individuals and “The Other.” Religious tolerance manifests ethical responsibility to recognize and respect the existence of others with different religions and beliefs. This article proposes that Levinasian philosophy can provide a useful critique and proposal for the dilemma of religious tolerance in pluralistic societies

Multiculturalism is a social philosophy that aims to openly recognize and encourage the identities of many cultures and religions. Identity politics is one method individuals in a society fight to get their cultures and cultural identities accepted by the broader public. On the other hand, religious diversity can foster mutual respect and understanding among different cultural groups, promoting a more harmonious and inclusive society. Multiculturalism and religious diversity can also impact public policies and institutions, such as education and the legal system. While it can lead to conflicts and challenges, it can also create opportunities for growth, understanding, and respect among different cultural and religious groups. It is important for societies to find ways to promote coexistence and tolerance while respecting the rights and freedoms of all individuals, regardless of their cultural or religious background. The chapter will deal with links between multiculturalism and religious diversity.

This research explores the concept, principles, and implementation of 'Bhinneka Tunggal Ika,' the official national motto of Indonesia, according to the Holy Bible. The objective is to enable Christians to biblically evaluate and implement the values of 'Bhinneka Tunggal Ika' in the context of the nation. The research methodology involves a combination of literature review and theological study. The findings indicate that the Holy Bible teaches the concept of diversity in three categories: uncreated diversity, created diversity, and diversity resulting from human sin. The second type of diversity should be appreciated, while the third type should be accepted as it is. The Holy Bible does not address the unity of believers with individuals of different religions but emphasizes unity among the people of God. Nevertheless, the Holy Bible teaches one to appreciate and not belittle anyone of a different faith, maintaining a neutral stance towards their religion – neither demeaning nor respecting it. Christians, in fostering unity within the national context, should operate within the social sphere rather than the religious one. While Christians should be exclusive in their faith in Jesus as the Saviour, they should be inclusive in their social interactions with all people as ‘God is love’..
