%X Pluralism is a fact of history. Pluralism is God's will for humans to greet each other, to recognize, to communicate, and to express solidarity. Tolerant attitude can be grown through religion-based multicultural education. Jack Seymour and Tabitha Kartika Christiani explain models of religious education, namely; in the wall, at the wall, and beyond the wall. The most appropriate model for building a tolerant behavior of students is beyond the wall education, because the approach used is not only oriented to discuss and dialogue with people of different religious spirituality vision, but also to be mutually cooperative among others. Meanwhile, Amin Abdullah uses philosophical approach inspired by Immanuel Kant in his work Perpetual Peace which was developed through a religion phenomenological approach in the study of religions. This philosophical approach maps and discusses three entities of religion thought, namely Subjective, Objective, and Intersubjective. And the most appropriate approach for building a tolerant behavior of students is intersubjective approach, as it concerned with sympathy and empathy between human beings and between people of diverse faiths in the world through persuasive, dialogic, participative, and inclusive communication.
