Exploring the Impact of Religious Policy Analysis within NU on the Continuity of Religious Life in Indonesia

Abstract

This study investigates the impact of religious policy analyses within Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) on the continuity of religious life in Indonesia. Against the backdrop of Indonesia's rich religious plurality, this study provides an in-depth insight into how religious policies analyzed by NU influence religious practice and religious life in the country. The research method used includes qualitative data collection through observation and analysis of documents related to NU's religious policies. The results show that religious policy analysis within NU significantly impacts religious life in Indonesia. Factors such as inclusiveness, assertiveness, and adaptability of NU policies play an important role in supporting religious plurality in Indonesia. Policies that can accommodate the religious needs and aspirations of various community groups have contributed positively to interfaith harmony and social stability in the country. This research also identifies several challenges faced in the implementation of NU's religious policies, including constraints in maintaining a balance between tradition and modernity, as well as efforts to deal with the changing social and political dynamics in Indonesia
