Abstract

This study examines religious happiness as social capital for fostering spirituality and harmony among people in a pluralistic Indonesian society. The research analysis unit includes 160 reputable articles on religious happiness, spirituality, and pluralism published between 2013 and 2023. The research uses a systematic literature review based on PRISMA 2020 with thematic analysis, which is then interpreted through John Hick's pluralistic hypothesis. The results of the synthesis identified four main themes, namely transcendental meaning, moral integrity, spiritual practices (prayer and biblical engagement), and social service, which collectively function as social capital in fostering empathy, tolerance, and interfaith cooperation. The novelty of this study lies in conceptualizing religious happiness not only as individual well-being but also as a collective resource grounded in Hick's pluralism and the Pancasila framework. Theoretically, this research contributes to comparative theology and interfaith studies by developing contextual models of religious happiness that bridge personal spirituality and social cohesion, while offering practical implications for religious institutions, education, and public policy for strengthening inclusive spirituality and sustainable peace.
