The village has 4 churches, 4 monasteries, and 2 mosques adjoining each other. These diverse religious activities do not make it difficult for people to do worship. Every religion that has worship activities will be supported by helping worship activities by maintaining the safety of worship greetings in this Kampung Toleransi Luna Gang.
