The Islamic education has ever been sociologically and historically regarded as Islamic religious education. It is intended to differentiate it from general (secular) education. This view is considered as the reason for the presence of Islamic religious school (madrasah diniyah) and the dichotomy between religious education and general (secular) education. Since then, the treatment for students'. characters, moral, attitude, personality or what commonly known as affective aspects is relied on religious education. On the contrary, the treatment for students 'psychometrics and cognitive aspects is charged to general education system.

<p><em>Majelis taklim</em> plays an essential and strategic role in the South Tangerang people's socio-cultural transformation. Amid the rapid flow of urban development, <em>majelis taklim</em> can still play their function in religious education and maintain the continuity and order of society's structure and socio-cultural system. Not only religious issues, but <em>majelis taklim</em> can also be a space to solve various socio-political problems. Using a qualitative method with a social history approach, this article aims to capture continuity and change, especially towards the expanding role of <em>majelis taklim</em> in South Tangerang. In addition to the achievements, various challenges faced by <em>majelis taklim</em> in carrying out its socio-religious role in the modern era were also discussed. This study identifies several things. First, <em>majelis taklim</em> is increasingly recruiting members of various ages, education, occupation, and insight. This makes the <em>majelis taklim</em> more open and encourages the socio-cultural transformation of the South Tangerang people. Second, in responding to the times, <em>majelis taklim</em> often face challenges in administration, equipment, and communication. Third, there is a collective awareness among Muslims about how important it is to study Islamic knowledge in <em>majelis taklim</em>. This motivated the community to establish <em>majelis taklim</em> until 2020 had reached more than 874 throughout the South Tangerang area. With the socio-religious role of <em>majelis taklim</em>, Muslims increasingly love their religion, deepening Islamic teachings through a religious education institution that plays an essential role in society's socio-cultural transformation.</p>

Islamic education is the component of the educational process in post secular society, because the post secularity today acquires another sense than in the last century. Post secularity as the continuation of the secular process in the modern historical, sociocultural and political processes was found as an epoch, involving the secular educational projects in the modern time. If in the past century theology education was distanced from pragmatism of the secular educational practices, finding them too utilitarian and maintenance of man in the world; today theologies, designing the religious education, enter the modern scientific secular dialogues in the standardized programs of education. Criticism of the secular education was related to the problem of crisis of the western thinking. The wellknown thinkers of the West declared about this crisis.

This study is an attempt to address the issue of religion in the public sphere and secularism. Since the Eastern Orthodox Church has been established by the Greek constitution (1975) as the prevailing religion of Greece, there are elements of legal agreements- which inevitably spawn interactions- between state and Church in different areas. One such area is Religious Education. This article focuses on Religious Education (RE) in Greece which is a compulsory school subject and on two important interventions that highlight the interplay between religion, politics and education: firstly the new Curriculum for RE (2011) and secondly the introduction of an Islamic RE (2014) in a Greek region (Thrace) where Christians and Muslims have lived together for more than four centuries. The researches are based on fieldwork research and they attempt to open the discussion on the role of RE in a secular education system and its potential for coexistence and social cohesion.
