“…She has argued that Bayle's conception of toleration allowed for a state church along similar lines as the Dutch Reformed establishment, which left a surprising amount of room for voluntary participation in religion and enough comprehension to enable social mobility for non-members. 123 Unmentioned by García-Alonso, but supporting her case, are those texts in chapter 6 of the second part of the Commentaire which speak of the sovereign's 'duties' according to natural law:…”

Pierre Bayle and Richard Simon: toleration, natural law, and the Old Testament

Pierre Bayle (1647-1706) developed an expansive theory of toleration in his Commentaire philosophique (1686) by arguing that tolerance is a universal principle of natural law. However, by situating toleration in natural law rather than positive law, Bayle was brought into theoretical conflict with the Old Testament injunction that the state should punish idolatry. To resolve this conflict, Bayle drew upon the work of early modern Hebraists, particularly the Catholic biblical scholar Richard Simon (1638-1712). Bayle adapted Simon's idea that theocracy uniquely shaped the institutions of ancient Israel to argue that prohibitions against idolatry should be exclusive to the Hebrew republic. Bayle argued that the Mosaic Law did not punish someone for their sincerely held religious beliefs but only prohibited treason, and these circumstantial laws should not be emulated by other states. This allowed Bayle to contend for the moral veracity of the Old Testament and the notion that toleration is an unconditional principle of natural law. Bayle's use of Simon displayed the revolutionary potential of textual critical scholarship in the early modern period, as he adapted Simon's critical ideas to his own aims of promoting religious toleration within the ecclesiastical and civic spheres of his own confessional context.

“…To overcome the problem of religious tolerance in schools, comprehensive efforts are needed from all relevant parties. Schools must provide inclusive religious education, introducing students to diverse religious beliefs and practices (García-Alonso, 2019;Qowaid, 2013;Wibowo, 2019). Apart from that, learning programs regarding tolerance, harmony between religious communities, and respect for differences must be improved in the formal curriculum and extracurricular activities (Nelson, 2022;Spierings, 2019).…”

Religious tolerance is a crucial issue that often becomes a problem in student interactions in schools, especially schools that are diverse culturally, religiously, and in the identity of religious organizations. This study aims to test the effectiveness of hybrid group guidance services using the value-based cognitive reconstruction technique "ngudi kasampurnan" for high school students. This research involved 30 class XI high school students in Kudus Regency who were divided into two groups, namely the control group and the experimental group. The intervention was implemented in 9 (nine) stages, either face-to-face synchronous, virtual face-to-face, or synchronous, by applying the values-based cognitive reconstruction technique "ngudi kasampurnan" as a modification and novelty of this research. The effectiveness test was carried out using the Mann-Whitney Test method with the help of SPSS 23. The results showed that the control group that was given the intervention experienced significant changes, as indicated by a Z value of -4.705 and a P value of 0.000, which means there was a considerable change. Meanwhile, the control group had a Z value of -1.623 and a P value of 0.104, which means there was no significant effect. These results show that hybrid intervention with the value-based cognitive reconstruction technique "ngudi kasampurnan" is more effective in increasing students' religious tolerance. Furthermore, it is hoped that there will be efforts to modify and collaborate technological sophistication with local wisdom values, which will still serve as guidelines for Indonesian society.

“…Religious pluralism requires respect for minority rights and freedom of conscience or without coercion in the context of belief. 56 Religious pluralism demands religious adherents to view all religions as having similarities and not having critical differences. Religious pluralism emphasizes the general similarity in all religions and ignores various doctrinal differences and the ability to disagree with other people.…”

This article elucidates contradictory religious arguments. Religion substantively carries messages of salvation and guidance of truth from God. But when it is practiced by humans, substantive religious messages were reduced and replaced with contradictory religious expressions that eradicated the substantive messages of religion itself. Conflict and violence in the name of religion is a real phenomenon that the substantive religious teachings lost its essential message of religion. An important question to be answered in this article is how does the process of religious reduction occur if it is reviewed from the character of theological interpretation produced by theologians? A literature study of this article about the tension, conflict, and violence in the name of religion shows that the reduction of the face of religion is due to the product of sectarian, fanatical, and untolerant. These findings strengthen previous studies about the influence of theological patterns towards religious attitudes of their adherents.
