Abstract

This article examines how personal religiosity and socio-demographic conditions shape religious moderation in Indonesian Muslim society. The purpose of the study is to synthesize previous research on the relationship between multidimensional religiosity, social background, and moderate religious attitudes, especially national commitment, rejection of religious violence, tolerance, and accommodation of local culture. This study uses an integrative literature review method. The literature was selected through purposive and reference-list tracing from works on religious moderation, Muslim religiosity, tolerance, intolerance, Islamic education, and Indonesian socio-religious life. The selected sources were analyzed using thematic content analysis by comparing concepts, methods, findings, and contextual explanations across studies. The results show that religious moderation cannot be explained by a single determinant. Religiosity supports moderation when it is formed through balanced intellectual understanding, belief, public and private practice, and religious experience. However, religiosity may also become exclusive when shaped by closed social environments. Socio-demographic factors, including gender, family income, education, organizational experience, and social environment, influence access to religious discourse and intergroup interaction. The article contributes to Educational Studies by offering an integrative conceptual model for developing reflective, inclusive, and context-sensitive religious education in plural societies.
