The population in this study consists of Starbucks consumers in Semarang who have previously purchased Starbucks products and are aware of the boycott issue that impact Starbucks. The sample size used in this study is 100 respondents, obtained using non probability sampling with Lemeshow sampling formula for unknown population. The analytical tool used is SPSS to test simple linear regression and moderated regression analysis (MRA), preceded by validity, reliability, and classical assumption tests. The results show that religiosity has a positive and significant effect on boycott participation and boycott participation has a negative and significant effect on brand attitude. Furthermore, brand loyalty is also found to significantly weaken the relationship between religiosity and boycott participation.
