The method used in this study is the historical method and the presentation of research results is carried out in the form of descriptive narrative.

Then there are the founding factors of The Wahid Institute such as social and religious conditions in the post-New Order era, because they were released from the New Order era. because of differences in views, beliefs, culture, and ethnicity. This is due to the lack of pluralism in society, so The Wahid Institute was designed by the initiators to fight for pluralism as expected by Gus Dur.
