Abstract

Pancasila as a civil religion has been the ideological foundation for the Indonesian state since its independence in 1945. This concept reflects the unique spirit of unity in diversity, depicting a vision of an inclusive country that accepts and respects the diversity of religions, cultures and ethnicities in Indonesia. However, in the context of the challenges of multiculturalism and religious plurality, the role of Pancasila as a solution to various social and religious problems in Indonesia becomes increasingly important to understand. This research aims to explore the role of Pancasila as a civil religion in providing solutions to religious and societal challenges in Indonesia. This research also aims to understand the impact and implications of the Pancasila concept in promoting tolerance, interreligious dialogue, and building a socially just society. The research method used in this research is descriptive qualitative with a literature study approach. Data was collected through analysis of relevant primary and secondary sources, including official documents, books, journal articles and related research reports. The research results show that Pancasila as a civil religion has a significant role in facilitating tolerance, inter-religious dialogue and the development of a socially just society in Indonesia. The Pancasila concept creates an inclusive and comprehensive philosophical foundation for harmonious and civilized religious and social life. Although there are still challenges that need to be overcome, with joint efforts and strong commitment, Indonesia can continue to strengthen its unique national identity and build an inclusive, just and civilized society
