Abstract
Harmony among people of different religious background is crucial concern in societal discussions lately in the context of Indonesia. The diversity of beliefs existing in Indonesia is a valuable treasure, but at the same time it presents a huge challenge for community life with the diverse available ways of thinking. The strength of each religious group tends to produce exclusivism to their respective religions. As a result, conflict between religious people is unavoidable. It is for this reason that pluralistic outlook is a major necessity in order to nurture harmonious living among people who even though are different in the religion they embrace, but are able to accept and respect one another.
