ABSTRACT
This study describes the level of religious moderation of students; this research uses a quantitative approach with descriptive analysis methods; the total population is 34,283. Meanwhile, the samples were 450 students from various fields of study. This research focuses on the level of religious moderation, which includes four indicators: having a national commitment, a non-violent attitude, an accommodating attitude towards local culture, and an attitude of tolerance. The findings reveal that 4.62% of students have a national commitment, 4.56% have an anti-violence attitude, 4.40% have an accommodative attitude towards the local culture, and 4.18% have a tolerant attitude. The gap in this research is that there is still a percentage of students who are neutral or even moderate. It is feared that an immoderate attitude could lead to radicalism; an attitude that is at odds with a moderate attitude in religion. The study concludes with recommendations for policymakers and provides avenues for future research to explore this understanding of religious moderation in religious populations. Contributions to SDGs issues include the implementation of peace, justice, and resilient institutions. It is hoped that the results of this research will provide insight into fostering a peaceful and inclusive society and expand the relevance of the study in the Indonesian education landscape.
