Abstract:
Religious moderation is a crucial issue, along with religious and cultural values that develop
in society. Religious moderation’s success will significantly determine millennial Muslim
youth’s tolerant attitudes, mediated by intellectual humility. This study aimed to identify
and design a model of religious moderation on tolerance by mediating intellectual humility.
The research used mixed methods; data analysis used NVivo 12 Plus (software by QSR
International), to compile variable nominations; and Partial Least Squares - Structural
Equation (PLS-SEM) creates research models. There were 350 Indonesian youth informants
in the study, which used interviews and focus group discussions. The results showed that
religious moderation in youth, including national commitment, antiviolence and acceptance
of local culture, can strengthen tolerance, mediated by intellectual humility. The tolerant
attitude shows high and stable data and confirms the strengthening of religious moderation
in young people. From the identification, a model of religious moderation in youth was
designed and revised, and the results have met all the requirements for modelling so that it
can be continued for testing.
Contribution: This research provides essential assistance in implementing religious
moderation for young people, which is currently the most prevalent issue in Indonesia. The
world needs a moderate religious attitude to become a middle ground for various religious
and cultural differences among people globally.
