Abstract

In the context of Indonesia's rich social diversity, this article highlights the urgency of social diversity management, particularly concerning aspects of religion, culture, and political perspectives. The escalating levels of social intolerance and their economic repercussions serve as the impetus for this research. This study employs a qualitative phenomenological approach to delve into individual perspectives on religion, with a specific focus on motivations in selecting and practicing religion, perceptions of religious practices, and views on interfaith interactions. Research findings indicate that individual motivations in religious practices are influenced by emotional dimensions, while prayer and ritual practices play a significant role in the religious practices of the younger generation. Furthermore, the younger generation exhibits a pluralistic attitude towards other religions. The research outcomes underscore the significance of comprehensive character education, encompassing the development of personal values and social responsibilities, in enhancing the social resilience of the younger generation. Character education grounded in religion can make a significant contribution to building the social resilience necessary to confront global and contemporary challenges.
