The implementation of religious tolerance in people's lives can be realized through various forms of real behavior, such as respecting the implementation of other religious worship, not imposing beliefs, establishing interfaith cooperation in social activities, maintaining attitudes and speech so as not to offend followers of other religions, and using social media wisely. The implementation of tolerance in daily life also requires dialogue between religious communities, deliberation in resolving differences, and the active role of educational institutions, families, and the government in instilling the values of tolerance from an early age.
