This study aims to investigate the relationship between religious literacy and the acceptance process of religious moderation values among Muslim youth in the 3T areas of Pesisir Barat Regency. The research subjects focus on high school students as a group still vulnerable in forming their religious identity. Therefore, Erikson's Identity Theory serves as the basis for analysis, tracing, and understanding of how these two variables form an interrelated discourse. This applied qualitative research employs an Interpretive Phenomenology approach. To explore students' views, experiences, and understanding related to religious literacy and religious moderation values, data collection was conducted using Focus Group Discussions (FGDs), in-depth interviews, and observations as the primary sources. Additionally, the intimacy technique was used as an integral part of obtaining comprehensive research data. Informants were selected using intensity purposive sampling techniques. The findings of this study indicate that students' religious literacy in Pesisir Barat Regency is relatively general, with sources including digital social media, peer environments, schools, and family factors. Besides the dissemination of literacy through religious subjects in schools, traditional religious learning guidance, such as that provided by Quran teachers in the family environment, becomes an integral part of religious literacy. Students also learn religion through social media by watching content from their favorite preachers. Another specific finding is the existence of 'situational tolerance' attitudes towards other groups when faced with primordial issues. Meanwhile, understanding global socio-religious issues is still unfamiliar to students. The implications of this research can serve as a basis for developing religious literacy programs to enhance the understanding and practice of religious moderation among high school and equivalent students in 3T areas
