Abstract

This study aims to analyze religious hoaxes on social media in Indonesia by examining their logical, religious, and legal dimensions. It highlights how these hoaxes, often framed through logical fallacies and spread via digital platforms, exacerbate social polarization and interfaith tensions. The study used a descriptive qualitative approach, focusing on high-profile cases involving religious hoaxes during 2020–2021. The researchers collected data from social media posts, comments, and videos on platforms such as YouTube and Twitter, as well as from secondary sources, including news articles, legal documents, and religious texts. The findings reveal the strategic use of logical fallacies such as ad hominem and argumentum ad populum, the exploitation of sensitive religious issues, and the amplification of divisive narratives through digital platforms. These hoaxes significantly impact societal harmony, resulting in polarization, theological confusion, and heightened interfaith tensions. The study underscores the critical need to enhance media literacy, foster interfaith dialogue, and enforce digital content regulations. These strategies can mitigate the impact of religious hoaxes and promote a more informed, cohesive society. This research integrates logical, religious, and legal frameworks to analyze religious hoaxes comprehensively. Addressing the intersection of these perspectives offers a unique contribution to understanding and mitigating the societal impacts of digital misinformation.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the role of religious moderation in shaping interfaith relations in Indonesia and Malaysia. The research investigates how state policies and community-based initiatives contribute to social harmony and interfaith cooperation. It also seeks to identify the challenges each country faces in promoting religious moderation and its impact on Muslim-Christian interactions. The research employs a qualitative comparative approach, incorporating in-depth interviews, participatory observations, and focus group discussions with religious leaders, government officials, and interfaith activists. Data collection was conducted in key regions with diverse religious populations, including Yogyakarta and Surabaya in Indonesia, as well as Kuala Lumpur and Selangor in Malaysia. Thematic analysis was used to identify patterns in religious moderation practices and their influence on interfaith harmony. The study finds that Malaysia’s religious moderation is actively supported by government policies, resulting in a more structured and dynamic interfaith environment. The National Unity Blueprint and other pluralism-oriented initiatives have contributed to stronger cooperation among religious communities. In contrast, Indonesia’s religious moderation efforts remain largely formal and symbolic, facing cultural resistance, particularly in rural areas. Limited local government support and socio-historical tensions further hinder effective interfaith engagement in Indonesia. The findings underscore the importance of government involvement in shaping interfaith harmony. The study suggests that Indonesia could benefit from adopting a more structured approach to religious moderation, integrating state-backed policies with grassroots engagement. The research also highlights the role of religious education and interfaith dialogue in reducing social tensions and fostering inclusive religious pluralism. This research contributes a novel comparative perspective on religious moderation by systematically analyzing policies and their social impact in two multicultural nations. Unlike previous studies that focus solely on qualitative descriptions, this study incorporates empirical insights into the effectiveness of religious moderation policies in fostering interfaith harmony. The findings provide valuable recommendations for policymakers and religious leaders in designing more effective pluralism strategies to enhance interfaith cooperation.

Abstract

: Online Gender-Based Violence (OGBV) has become an urgent global issue, exacerbated by technological advancements and the widespread use of digital platforms. This study explores the intersection of OGBV and biblical theology by analyzing Mary’s Magnificat as a framework for the Church’s response to digital gender injustices. The study aims to provide a theological perspective on OGBV, highlighting the role of the Church in advocating for digital justice and supporting survivors. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach, this research integrates biblical-theological analysis and literature review. The primary sources include the Magnificat (Luke 1:46-55), theological reflections on gender justice, and reports on OGBV from institutions such as Komnas Perempuan and SAFEnet. The study utilizes thematic analysis to examine how the Magnificat serves as a theological foundation for digital advocacy and ecclesial interventions. The findings indicate that the Magnificat is not merely a hymn of worship but a radical proclamation of justice, aligning with feminist and liberation theology. This study positions the Church as an ethical agent in digital governance, urging its involvement in advocacy, policy engagement, and pastoral care for OGBV survivors. Theologically, the research highlights the Church’s responsibility to challenge oppressive digital structures and promote gender justice in online spaces. This study contributes to digital theology by bridging biblical insights with contemporary discussions on gender-based violence in digital contexts. It also emphasizes the need for interdisciplinary collaboration between theologians, legal experts, and digital rights advocates to develop faith-based interventions against OGBV. However, further research is needed to expand theological engagement beyond the Magnificat and explore the role of other religious traditions in addressing OGBV.

Abstract

Catholics in Indonesia have a long tradition of making pilgrimages to the Gua Maria (Maria Caves), complementing visits to cathedrals and other religious sites. This study focuses on Marian tourism at the Gua Maria in Java and Bali, highlighting their inclusivity as destinations open to both Catholic and non-Catholic visitors, fostering peace and mutual respect. The research explores the spiritual and communal experiences of pilgrims, investigating the interplay between religious practices and tourist behaviour in a multicultural context. Using a qualitative approach, data were collected through literature reviews, interviews, and observations. Findings reveal that pilgrimages to the Gua Maria provide a profound sense of brotherhood and exemplify genuine tolerance. These sites' openness contributes to national harmony, while the application of Sapta Pesona Wisata (the Seven Charms of Tourism) enhances visitor experiences by emphasising security, comfort, and serenity. This study contributes to religious tourism literature by demonstrating how Sapta Pesona Wisata can improve the quality of Marian pilgrimage tourism, fostering intercultural dialogue and religious tolerance. It underscores the Gua Maria's role in promoting peace, inclusivity, and social cohesion within Indonesia’s pluralistic society.

Abstract

This study investigates how religious faith moderates the relationship between happiness and life effectiveness among university students in Sabah, Malaysia, during the COVID-19 pandemic. The research aims to address the growing psychological challenges faced by youths by exploring whether internal resources such as happiness and faith can strengthen life competencies in times of crisis. A quantitative research design was employed using a cross-sectional online survey distributed to students from public and private universities in Sabah. The survey collected data from 521 participants using validated instruments to measure happiness, religious faith, and life effectiveness. The data were analysed using hierarchical regression analysis to assess the moderating effect of religious faith. The findings show that happiness significantly predicts life effectiveness, accounting for 31.3% of the variance. Religious faith adds an additional 2.7%, while the interaction between happiness and faith contributes a further 1.0%, indicating a significant moderating effect. Students who reported both high happiness and strong faith demonstrated higher levels of emotional control, time management, and initiative. The study implies that cultivating both emotional well-being and religious faith can enhance youth resilience and functional effectiveness, especially during crises. These findings have practical applications in mental health programming and student development initiatives, particularly in multicultural settings like Sabah. This study offers a novel contribution by empirically testing the moderating role of religious faith in the happiness–life effectiveness relationship—a dimension rarely explored in previous literature. It expands current understanding of psychosocial dynamics among young people in culturally diverse societies.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the strategies employed by churches in Nigeria—particularly in Abuja and Lagos—in responding to the challenges of secularisation, a process that reduces the societal significance of religion. As secular ideologies and materialist values reshape public consciousness, churches must adapt to remain socially relevant, especially among youth increasingly disengaged from traditional worship. Using a qualitative research design, this study integrates focus group discussions, participant observations, and secondary literature to explore how churches adopt innovative worship practices, digital technologies, and community engagement programs. Data were analysed using thematic analysis and interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA), allowing for in-depth interpretation of institutional and individual responses. Findings reveal that churches in both cities are implementing a multifaceted strategy: digital tools to attract younger audiences, community service programs to enhance public trust, and theological revisions to address ethical issues like inclusivity, social justice, and ecological responsibility. These adaptations have led to increased engagement, a stronger sense of belonging among congregants, and expanded the churches’ social roles. The study contributes to existing literature by offering a holistic understanding of church responses in a non-Western context. It highlights how the synergy between worship innovation, community service, and theological flexibility enables churches to survive and thrive in a secular environment. This research offers practical implications for church leaders, policymakers, and scholars interested in the evolving role of religion in society. The originality of this study lies in its integrated approach to secularisation and adaptation within African urban religious institutions, providing insights often overlooked in Western-centric research.
