Abstract: The act of radicalism in the name of religion that occurs on earth gives the impression that it obliges its adherents to commit violence in solving every problem so that it raises the opinion that religion is synonymous with violence. Why has religion turned into a catastrophe of crimes against humanity? In this article, the author tries to answer the question, what factors have turned religion into a crime against humanity? To answer this question, the author will use the thought of Charles Kimball, who identifies five signs that become factors for religion turning into disaster, namely signs when the understanding of religion has deviated so that it will bring disaster. The five signs are claims of absolute truth, blind obedience, building the ideal age, the goal of justifying all means, and calling for 'holy war'. Besides that, the writer tries to answer the question, how can religion go hand in hand with nationality? To answer the second question, the writer will use the ideas of ‘‘Ulama and statesmen in Indonesia in instilling national values so that they can eliminate radicalism.
