The phenomenon of increasing participation of Generation Z in popular culture and digital spaces influences the way they form and express their religious identity more flexibly and contextually. However, previous research has mostly used descriptive approaches and has not yet developed integrative educational models in religious moderation. This research aims to analyze the dynamics of religiosity in Generation Z and formulate a model of religious moderation education based on popular culture. This study employs a qualitative approach with a literature review method on scientific articles from the period 2021–2026, which are analyzed using thematic analysis techniques. The results of this study reveal that Generation Z's religious identity is shaped thru the interaction between popular culture, digital spaces, and religious values. Based on these findings, this research develops a model of religious moderation education consisting of three stages: contextualization of values, transformation thru digital media, and participatory internalization. This research contributes to the development of a conceptual model of religious moderation education that is relevant, flexible, and aligned with the characteristics of Generation Z in the digital age.
