Abstract

The Religious Moderation concept in Indonesia is based on written scripts that have been rolling since 2019, this issue is one of the themes promoted by the Ministry of Religion, which is based on the plural and cultural reality of the people of this country.The Wahid Institute informed that 54 percent of cases of intolerance occurred during 2020.This condition can have a positive potential if it is managed properly, on the other hand, it can become a dangerous boomerang if strategic policies do not accompany it.Because it can give rise to radical ideas, which later become an acute disease in society.Intolerance, racism, and other bad behavior are very easy to spread and very easy to follow, someone can even do it without realizing it.In this context, spiritual communication is needed as a policy strategy, to provide mutual understanding to all level of society.Qualitative-descriptive method is used in this research, with literature study, virtual observation and interviews with some informants from Cirebon.The study's findings indicated that religious moderation was implemented using four approaches, namely the linguistic approach, the sociocultural approach, the historical approach, and the traditional approach.
