Abstract

Religious institutions play a significant role in shaping moral values and social norms in Indonesia. This paper explores the involvement of religious organizations in anti-corruption discourse, analyzing sermons, religious education, and community outreach programs. Through qualitative content analysis and interviews with religious leaders and followers, the study examines how religious teachings contribute to framing corruption as a moral and social sin, influencing public attitudes and behaviors. Findings reveal both the strengths and limitations of religious institutions as agents of anti-corruption socialization, including challenges posed by political entanglements and varying interpretations of ethical mandates. The paper argues for leveraging the moral authority of religious organizations while promoting pluralistic and inclusive approaches to anti-corruption advocacy. This research enriches the global conversation on the intersection of religion and governance in combating corruption.
