Religious schema and tolerance towards alienated groups in Indonesia

Abstract

National discourses that are acceptable by the alienated groups determine the level of public tolerance towards those groups. This study thus examined the relationships between religious schema and tolerance of two alienated groups in Indonesia, namely, the atheists and believers in indigenous faiths. Additionally, the study explored the differences in tolerance of these two groups across university cohorts encompassing discrete social climates and curricula. This cross-sectional study involved several universities with differing demographic makeup. The analysis results revealed that the characteristics of the evaluated target group determined the significance of the associations between the dimensions of religious schema and tolerance. Moreover, students in homogeneous educational and social environments tended to exhibit low levels of tolerance towards alienated groups. This study highlighted the importance of scrutinising the functions of intergroup exposure and dialogues in improving intergroup understanding, acceptance, and tolerance within a plural society.

A Review of Tafsir Al-Misbah of Religious Tolerance in QS. Al-An’am Verse 108

“…In religious science, the guarantee of freedom in choosing a religion can be seen basically by the absence of pressure in choosing a religion so that no power can force someone to join a religion (3). Moreover, tolerance is a pattern of provision to widen the existence of human rights and civil liberties for all groups (4). Respect in choosing a religion is the basis used to establish a happy bond between religious communities, which has a comprehensive nature (5).…”
