Summary

Introduction

Religion is a phenomenon in human life, even a necessity that is always needed. Malinowski (Cahyono, 2011) states that there is no nation, primitive, that has no religion and magic. Religion as a source of values will give birth to norms that need to be internalized in everyday life. Through this process, religious awareness will emerge (Darajat, 2010), that is, the beliefs generated by actions or practices in practicing their religion. While religion as a cognitive source reflects the knowledge possessed by religious adherents to the beliefs they hold. In this context, understanding religion has two consequences, namely understanding is universal or individual. Universal understanding is accepted by all adherents of religion, such as religion associated with something transcendent, God, or the All-Forge Power.
