This paper explores the approach to religious education that has been instituted in Russia since 2012. The new policy’s manifestly proclaimed goals seem convergent with the values of religious freedom, self-determination, tolerance, and inter-faith peace that are espoused by Western liberal democracies. Yet Russia’s hidden religious education curriculum is far more consistent with a neo-imperial model of ethno-religious (Russian Orthodox) hegemony and limited toleration of selected, other faiths whose reach is restricted to politically peripheral ethno-territorial entities. This model embodies and revitalizes Russia’s imperial legacies. Yet the revitalization is, in itself, an outcome of strategic choices made by the country’s religious and secular elites in the course of its desecularization. Building on discourse analysis of five Russian textbooks and a teacher’s manual, this article shows how the neo-imperial model manifests itself in the suppression of exogenous and endogenous pluralism, cultivation of the ideology of “ethnodoxy”, and in essentially imperialist mythology. The paper concludes by predicting the new model’s potential instability.

This chapter presents the situation regarding religion in the former communist countries of Eastern Europe and Russia after 1989. In much of the region, religious groups refused to sit back and watch passively as the politicians shaped their countries into Western-style liberal democracies, preferring instead to be actively involved in the process. Thus, religion has become an important actor in societies which otherwise could have secularized relatively fast, following the example of the Western democracies that the former communist countries were trying to emulate. Several issues are examined in order to illustrate how religion evolved after the fall of the Iron Curtain: these include dealing with the past, living with newly acquired religious freedom, nationalism and religion, religion and refugees, religious education in state schools, and sexuality and religion.

Religious freedom (RF) is important because it is posited to be a central element of liberal democracy and as having multiple additional benefits including increased security and economic prosperity. Yet, it is also a disputed concept and many liberal democracies restrict the freedoms of religious minorities. This study uses the Religion and State (RAS) dataset to examine the extent of RF in 183 countries based on six definitions of RF. The author examines whether religious minorities are restricted in a manner that the majority is not, regulation of the majority religion, and imposition of precepts of the majority religion on a country’s population. He finds that very few countries, including liberal democracies, meet any standard for RF, even when one allows for ‘loose’ standards where some violations of RF are allowed.

This paper employs descriptive-analysis method in finding the foundations of the curriculum. Result shows that there are seven basic foundations in developing the curriculum, theological foundation (religion), philosophical foundation, ideological foundation, psychological foundation, sociological foundation, science and technology foundation and organizational foundation. With those foundations, madrasahs now have the firm base to foundation in determining the direction for their institutions and remain upright from the onslaught of globalization. The foundations will at least make madrasahs future-oriented in the development of Islamic civilization both nationally and internationally.

Truth Claims

The paradigm shift in the inclusive Islamic education curriculum is an essential part of Presidential Decree No. 7 of 2021. There is a tendency for religious learning to be normative-indoctrinative and lead to truth claims, raising suspicions that religious education contributes to the generation of extreme views. PPIM UIN Jakarta research shows that the PAI curriculum is still ambiguous on the issue of tolerance, and there is a tendency for PAI teachers to have an intolerance opinion towards minorities by 34%, and towards adherents of other religions by 29%. This study discusses the concept of inclusive education in Islam, the urgency of inclusive Islamic education, and the paradigm shift from exclusive to inclusive. This research is a literature study with a rationalistic approach. Data analysis uses reflective thinking logically to interpret the inclusive values of Islamic education and reflect them into strategic steps to answer the challenge of exclusivity. This study shows that Islam carries an inclusive spirit characterized by terminologies such as at-ta'arruf, at-tasammuh, at-tawassuth, and at-ta'awun. The urgency of inclusive Islamic education is intended so that the character of inclusive Islam is truly taught in learning. To change the paradigm of Islamic education from exclusive to inclusive, improvements are needed in curriculum elements, educators, and learning strategies.
