Abstract

Abstract:This paper aims to analyze madrasa efforts to maintain the sacred of the symbolic meaning of religious values as a response to the emergence of secularization in the Menoreh Hills community in Yogyakarta. Data were collected through observation and in-depth interviews. This study utilized Peter L Berger's theory of the fundamental dialectics which consisted of community-externalization, objectivation and internalization. It was in line with Thomas Lickona's theory of the configuration of strengthening the values of moral knowing, moral feeling, and moral behavior. The results showed that madrasa efforts to transform religious symbols into symbolic universe were carried out by enculturating the religious symbols with traditional Javanese values to find symbolic realities that had sacred meaning and degrees in the context of tolerance, social care, respect and courtesy values. The symbolic meaning of religion as a symbolic universe for the society can be used as an ethical guide for a human to have a meaningful life and to avoid alienation experience from this modern world. When the madrasa teachers possess high tolerance intelligence to avoid sectarian thoughts, madrasas can be the people's preference to guard religious value against secularization.
