Abstract

This study aims to examine the influence of religious experience on the religious practice of junior high school students in Central Lombok. The method used is a quantitative method with a survey approach. Data was collected through a questionnaire distributed to 426 junior high school students in Central Lombok. Data analysis was carried out using factor analysis to see the influence of independent variables on dependent variables. The results showed the direct influence of religious experience on religious practice with a probability of p < 0.05 and a t-statistical value exceeding 1.96. The contribution of religious experience is 29.9%, with a t-statistic of 5.695. The results of the study show that the higher the religious promotion of students, the better the religious activities practiced. The conclusion of this study confirms that religious experience has a significant influence on students' religious practice.
