Abstract :

Religiosity and religious beliefs can lead to changes in various fields, including the material and immaterial values of the family. However, factors such as the process of cultural modernization have also brought about changes in the religious beliefs of communities that have led to changes in family values. This article was aimed at influencing religious beliefs on family values. The research method was survey and collected by a questionnaire. The statistical population consists of high school students. Multi-stage cluster sampling method and sample size based on Cochran's formula are 400 people.The findings show that the mean of religious beliefs as well as the index of changes in the value of the family conductor is more than average and represents a near-modern attitude toward family values among students. There is a positive and direct relationship between the level of religious beliefs and family values. In other words, the greater the religious beliefs, the increase in the value of the family increase and, conversely, the lower the religious beliefs, the change in the value of the family decreases. It can also be seen that there is a positive and direct relation between religious beliefs including beliefs, religious, empirical and consequential dimension with material values and immaterial values of the family. The correlation of the next is a consequence of higher and then empirically lowers than other dimensions of religious beliefs.
