Abstract
In recent years in Indonesia, the development of violent religious behavior has been quite worrying. The behavior is predisposed by religious extremism. To overcome the issue, then conducted the study to find whether two vital constructs (existential anxiety and ingroup favoritism) can promote religious extremism. The present research has shown that existential anxiety and ingroup favoritism can promote religious extremism in Indonesia, triggering terror. Therefore,the solution can be proposed. Namely, Indonesian Society needs to pay attention to lived experience in a value-free way (like meditating or self-reflecting); don't make hasty judgments; think based on data and facts.
