Abstract

Generation Z, born in the digital age, faces the challenge of balancing freedom of expression and religious tolerance. Freedom of expression is a fundamental human right, but there is a risk of blasphemy or insult to certain religions that can trigger controversy and conflict. This research aims to explore the problem of blasphemy among Generation Z and the efforts to create a balance between the principles of freedom of expression and religious tolerance. The results show that with a combination of education, dialogue, fair regulation, the role of the media, and the active participation of Gen Z can create a more tolerant and inclusive environment without sacrificing healthy freedom of expression. Generation Z has great potential to become agents of change by achieving harmony between these two equally important principles
