Abstract

Religious diversity is a social reality that is inseparable from the lives of Indonesian people. In this context, religious moderation is a strategic approach to maintaining social harmony and preventing conflicts based on religious identity. This article aims to analyze the implementation of religious moderation values ​​in social relations among interfaith communities in Cisantana Village, Kuningan Regency, with a focus on the practice of reciting interfaith post-mortem prayers. This research uses a qualitative approach with a case study design. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation involving religious leaders, community leaders, village officials, and residents of interfaith groups. The results show that the values ​​of religious moderation—including tolerance, national commitment, anti-violence, and respect for local culture—have been internalized and practiced in the community's social life. The practice of interfaith post-mortem prayers has become a strong symbol of social solidarity and human empathy. In conclusion, religious moderation in Cisantana Village does not stop at the normative level, but has become a social culture that strengthens cohesion and harmony between religious communities.
