This study aims to analyze the influence of tolerance, inclusiveness, and balance on students’ attitudes toward religious moderation at SMP Negeri Batang Natal. Religious moderation is a strategic value in character education that fosters a just, balanced, and respectful religious attitude in a pluralistic society. The study employed a quantitative approach with a survey design. Data were collected through a Likert-scale questionnaire distributed to one hundred students and analyzed using multiple linear regression.

The findings reveal that all three independent variables—tolerance, inclusiveness, and balance—have a significant effect on students’ religious moderation. The coefficient of determination (R²) was 0.999, indicating that nearly all variance in students’ moderate religious attitudes can be explained by these three variables. Among them, inclusiveness contributed the most to religious moderation. These results highlight the importance of embedding values of moderation in secondary education as a means of strengthening students’ religious character in a respectful and harmonious manner
