Harmony, in this case, is related to the mixing of religions in one household, framed in the philosophy of local wisdom called “One Furnace-Three Stones”. This study uses a phenomenological qualitative design. Data were collected through field notes, interviews, and documentation techniques. Data analysis was carried out using the Miles, Huberman, and Saldana techniques: data condensation, data display, and verification/conclusion drawing, as well as data validity using data triangulation techniques. The results showed that the practice of one furnace-three stone became the local wisdom of the people of Sorong, West Papua, namely understanding each other's beliefs about the religion they embraced without having to intervene in the beliefs of other families. The local wisdom creates harmony in education because it focuses on the educational aspect of self. If the education is good for the local community, then all will provide support from the family, youth leaders, and traditional leaders. Internal and external factors cause the supporting factors in realizing harmony in education. Meanwhile, the inhibiting factor in realizing the harmony in education is the low economic background, which narrows the opportunity for children to choose the education they want.

However, the ideology of this country is not an Islamic state but a divine state by the first principle of Pancasila, namely “Belief in One Supreme God”. In religious life in Indonesia, six religions are legally recognized as national religions, namely Islam, Christianity, Catholicism, Hinduism, Buddhism, and Confucianism. The motto “Bhineka Tunggal Ika” has different meanings. Still, it is also very important for the Indonesian people as the glue in the framework of the unity of the Republic of Indonesia. The precepts of the One Godhead for the Indonesian people mean that all aspects of the administration of state life must follow the values that come from God. Religion is one of the most basic rights among other human rights because freedom of religion is rooted in human dignity as God's creatures. Therefore, religion cannot be forced on and by someone. Indonesian government guarantees the freedom of every citizen in choosing and embracing a religion according to their beliefs. The state as an apparatus and organizer of state life through Pancasila acts as a controller, supervisor, mediator, regulator, and guardian of the orderliness of religious life and belief in God. Tolerance between religious adherents is a must as evidence of awareness of acknowledging everyone's rights, respecting the beliefs of others, agreeing and understanding differences, understanding each other, having a big soul, and being able, to be honest (Hasyim, 2010) . Being tolerant, in this case, is doing good with an awareness of others. Living in a country full of diversity, - ethnicity, religion, or culture-, peacefully and side by side requires tolerance. Tolerance means respecting and learning from others, respect
