Abstract

The millennial generation is a generation that has a higher level of inclusiveness and tolerance in religion compared to previous generations. However, the specifics of the millennial generation's religious moderation attitudes require proof. This article aims to 1) describe the attitude of religious moderation of the millennial generation. 2) find forms and concepts of strengthening religious moderation, and 3) related parties in its implementation. This article uses a qualitative approach with a meta-analysis method. Findings: 1) The millennial generation has three dominant religious moderation attitudes in social interactions, namely tolerance, openness and inclusiveness. 2) The form of strengthening the attitude of religious moderation in the millennial generation can be done through social media, social activities, interfaith dialog, and inclusive religious education. Then, the concept of strengthening moderation includes the concept of brotherhood (Ukhuwah)/Tolerance, dialogue, education, and peace promotion. 3) The parties that play a role in the implementation of strengthening religious moderation are individuals, groups, and the government. In conclusion, the implementation of concepts and forms of strengthening religious moderation by related parties will consistently strengthen the attitude of millennials who are inclusive and tolerant of religious differences and can strengthen interfaith harmony in society.
