Religiosity is the attitude and behavior of a person who is obedient in carrying out the teachings of the religion they adhere to. It is inherent in the person, fostering tolerance and harmony with followers of other religions. It serves as a reflection of their obedience to the teachings of the religion they follow. This research aims to determine how teachers perceive implementing religious character education in elementary schools. This type of research employs a descriptive qualitative method. The results of this research indicate the implementation of religious character education in elementary schools, achieved by integrating religious values into the school curriculum. In addition, schools conduct spiritual activities, and teachers serve as role models by exemplifying positive behaviors such as doing good deeds, helping others, maintaining discipline, and engaging in religious activities.
