This article discusses the importance of religious moderation in the family context to promote tolerance and understanding in a diverse global society. Religious moderation is defined as the practice of religious teachings without extremism and respect for the practices of other religions. In an effort to realize religious moderation in the family, parents have a central role in teaching their children the values of tolerance, mutual respect and peace. Tolerance, which comes from the Latin word "tolerare", is explained as respecting the behavior of others and opposing discrimination against certain groups. This article is based on desk research that presents a theoretical foundation for understanding the concept of religious moderation. Open discussions about different religions and the practice of tolerance in daily life by parents are considered as effective ways to foster these values. Finally, promoting religious moderation in the family is expected to contribute to the building of a harmonious and tolerant society as a whole.
