Education plays a fundamental role in shaping future generations who are intellectually competent and morally grounded. In Indonesia, curriculum reforms such as the Independent Curriculum (Kurikulum Merdeka) have been introduced to foster these values through intracurricular activities, the Pancasila Student Profile Strengthening Project (P5), and extracurricular programs. One key component of the P5 initiative is the instillation of religious character, which aligns with the first principle of Pancasila. This study examines the influence of religious activities on students' religious character. This type of research is quantitative with a habituation method. This study was chosen to measure the relationship between the independent and dependent variables. Data analysis techniques in this study were adjusted to the type of approach and research hypothesis. This study involved 55 fifth-grade students divided into two groups, namely the experimental and control classes. Data were collected through pretests and posttests, which were then analyzed using the T-test to test the hypothesis. The results showed a significant difference between the experimental and control classes, with a p-value <0.001 indicating that the role of religious ritual activities positively affects students' religious character.
