An extraordinary gift was given by the Almighty when Indonesia has a diversity of cultures, ethnicities, languages, and religions. With the diversity that exists, it is undeniable that there are differences that lead to divisions and disputes, especially in religious differences. There is often occur an attitude of religious intolerance that becomes a public discussion, or within religion itself the occurrence of intolerance, because of different understandings in interpreting teaching he adheres to. This can lead to conflict in the community. Hence, this intolerance must be fixed by providing a universal understanding to the adherents of their respective religions. So that people do not fail to understand in understanding the teachings they profess. This difference must be upheld because the philosophy of religious life in Indonesia is oriented to Pancasila (Five Principles of the Indonesian State), as stated in the first principle, namely "Belief in the one and only God".
