N2  - Religious  perspectives  which  place  religion  as  a  source  of  conflict  have  initiated  various  attempts  to  reinterpret  and 
accordingly find some common ground at a certain level which hopefully may reduce conflicts among religious communities 
due to the existence of mutual tolerance. At the exoteric level, religions are different, but at the esoteric level, religions are not 
similar. All religions are viewed as equally valid paths toward God. However, in many ways, the reality shows that the tension
among  religious  communities is  closely  related  to  the  factors  that  are  beyond  the  scope  of  religion.  It is important  for  all 
religious  believers  to  keep  the  peace  among  them.  As  far  as  the  record  of  religious  conflicts  in  Indonesia  is  concerned,  it 
shows  three major  patterns:  conflicts  among  adherents  of  different  religions,  conflicts  between  one  religion  with  a  group 
accused as heretical, and internal conflicts  of  the same people  of  faith with  those who have different understanding  of  the 
religion. In any point of views, however, such conditions would be so detrimental to the human race in general, and society 
and the state of Indonesia in particular. This paper examines intensively about the issues and attempts to uncover the nature 
of the root?causes underlying them.
