How does religious tolerance interact with non-violence attitudeamong Muslims in Indonesia?

This study investigates how local wisdom and nationalism influence the relationship between religious tolerance and a nonviolent attitude in Indonesia. Due to Indonesia's diverse religions and cultures, fostering tolerance and nonviolence is essential for social stability. According to this study, nationalism and respect for local wisdom are related to tolerance and nonviolence itself. It is, moreover, testing the effectiveness of these roles in the relationship of tolerance and religious nonviolence among pluralistic Indonesians. This study uses a quantitative approach to test the theoretical mediation model. It investigates whether nationalism and respect for local wisdom serve as mediators between religious tolerance and religious nonviolence. The study included 1936 Muslims in Indonesia, with a mean age of 32.40 (SD=7.754) and a range from 17 to 48 years. The sample consisted of 1497 (77.3%) men and 439 (22.7%) women. Other characteristics were that 1040 (53.7%) of the sample had undergraduate education, 107 (5.5%) postgraduate, and 789 (40.8%) high school. This study found a significant relationship between religious tolerance and religious nonviolence; both were mediated by nationalism and respect for local wisdom as essential mediators. The findings suggest that those who are religiously tolerant cannot stand alone in their relationship with nonviolence; instead, they must be accompanied by their own nationalism and respect for local wisdom
