From the colonial to reformation era, conflict has characterized inter-religious groups' relationships in Indonesia both at the local level and national levels. Studies have shown intolerance among inter-religious groups. However, none of the studies has examined how the role of significant others in shaping religious values. Data for this paper comes from a larger study that surveyed students of Christian senior high schools throughout the country. It examined the roles of their fathers and mothers in developing values of tolerance to people with different faiths. Tolerance is measured in several types of relationships from very general to more personal. Analysis of this study is framed by Ajzen and Fishbein's model. They claim that motivation to interact with individuals with different faith is influenced by knowledge and attitude toward the issue. Findings show that Ajzen and Fishbein's model is true especially in intimate interactions. Students' motivation to getting engaged and marrying with person with different faith is influenced by their knowledge on it as well as their attitudes to that behavior.

This paper discusses the Islamic tolerance of other faiths and belief systems. Islam also advocates tolerance of diversity. The conflict between religions can be avoided through tolerance; thus, harmony and unity between religions can be fostered in a pluralistic society. Therefore, the discussion of this article focuses on the Quranic view of practical tolerance to avoid conflicts which are a direct result of failure to appreciate the values of tolerance which underpin Islamic teachings. Using the documentation research method, this article found that problems or misunderstandings are common in all religions but their teachings, especially Islam, must be interpreted in ways that nurture unity and understanding between various cultures and religious communities. The implications of this study show that Allah has told his servant to be fair to Muslims and non-Muslims, no matter who they are or where they come from, and to let them practice their faith. Tolerance in the Quran is based on the belief that good is more vital than evil. Because of this, the Quran teaches its followers to always forgive, especially about other religions, to have a noble mind, a forgiving attitude, and humane values, and to accept the rights of others. Tolerating differences in Islam involves coming to terms with history, understanding, and differences between Islam and modernity, which must first come from within Islam.
