Toleransi beragama telah ditemukan sebagai solusi yang baik untuk konflik agama yang terjadi di dunia. Namun, dalam hal agama, begitu pula nilai-nilai, dan dengan demikian moralitas. Landasan moral sebagai konstruksi psikologis membantu menjelaskan bagaimana individu memandang apa yang benar dan salah. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji hubungan antara fondasi moral dan toleransi beragama. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa fondasi moral fairness-cheating (B= 0,298; p = 0,004) mampu memprediksi secara positif toleransi beragama dan fondasi moral authority-subversion (B = -0,223; p = 0,004) dan fondasi sanctity-degradation (B = -0,241; p = 0,009) mampu memprediksi secara negatif tingkat toleransi beragama. Keterbatasan dibahas dan rekomendasi diberikan.

Religious tolerance has been found to be a good solution to the religious conflicts happening in the world. However, where religion is concerned, so does values, and thus morality. Moral foundations as a psychological construct help explain how an individual views what is right and wrong. This research aims to study the relationship between moral foundations and religious tolerance. Result shows that the moral foundations of fairness-cheating (B = 0.298; p = 0.004) is able to positively predict religious tolerance and the foundations of authority-subversion (B = -0.223; p = 0.004) and sanctity-degradation (B = -0.241; p = .009) are able to negatively predict levels of religious tolerance. Limitations were discussed and recommendations were given.
