| The millennial generation is a beacon of hope |
This was stated by Satrio Arismunandar, doctor of philosophy from the University of Indonesia, commenting on the theme of the webinar Religious Moderation among Millennials, which was held by the Indonesian Writers' Association SATUPENA (19/1).
Satrio explained, his statement was based on the results of a 2017 CSIS (Center for Strategic and International Studies) survey, entitled "What's Up with Millennials: Social, Economic and Political Orientation." The sample of this survey is 600 people which consist of all provinces proportionally. There are two basic questions asked, related to the religious attitudes of millennials.
Namely, acceptance of leaders of different religions and attitudes when there is an idea that wants to replace Pancasila with another ideology. This question is used as an indicator to explain the attitude of the millennial generation in relation to religious tolerance.
From this CSIS survey, respondents aged 17-29 years (millennial generation) who answered "can accept leaders of different religions" is 38.8 percent. Meanwhile, 39.4 percent of respondents aged over 30 years (non-millennial generation) answered that way.
Respondents aged 17-29 years (millennial generation) who answered "cannot accept leaders of different religions" were 53.7 percent. Meanwhile, 58.1 percent of respondents aged over 30 years (non-millennial generation) answered that way.

Regarding attitudes about wanting to replace Pancasila with another ideology, 9.5% of respondents aged 17-29 years (millennial generation) answered "agree". Meanwhile, respondents aged 30 years and over (non-millennial generation) were 11.8 percent.
Then, 90.5 percent of respondents aged 17-29 years (millennial generation) answered "disagree". Meanwhile, 85.4 percent of respondents aged 30 and over (non-millennial generation) had the same attitude.
"The position of the millennial generation is important because the upcoming 2024 general election will be dominated by generation Z and millennials, whose age range is 17-39 years," said Satrio. The number of Generation Z and millennials is close to 60 percent, based on another CSIS survey period that was held on 8-13 August 2022, covering 34 provinces (ma).
