Abstract

Religious education plays a strategic role in shaping individual character and morality, especially when systematically integrated into public policy. This study aims to analyze the contribution of religious education in fostering a civilized society and to identify the challenges and opportunities in its integration into public policy. Employing a qualitative approach with a case study method supported by literature review, data were collected through observation and documentation, then analyzed using thematic analysis techniques. Educational policies and regional social programs have utilized religious education as a means of character development, according to the findings. However, challenges persist, particularly concerning resistance to religious approaches in public spaces and limitations in regulatory frameworks. This article emphasizes the significance of multisectoral collaboration and regulatory enhancement to guarantee the systematic and sustainable integration of religious education within public policy. These findings offer theoretical and practical contributions to efforts aimed at cultivating a more harmonious, tolerant, and dignified society through value-based education.
