Abstract

Increasing religious conservatism marks a shift in ideology and religious authority in Indonesia. The form of this research is library research, uses Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) to identify, select, assess, and synthesize studies. The rise of conservative groups is inseparable from their sophistication in playing narratives and actions. Narratives such as: 'anti-Shia', 'anti-liberal', 'Islam is in danger', 'ahlul haq and ahlul bathil' etc. is a conservative dissemination of ideas that they use for specific purposes. The movement of the conservative group at the action level is fairly systematic. This can be seen from their role in influencing state policies such as regional-level laws and regulations so that they are in line with their version of Islamic teachings. Conservatism in Indonesia was born as a form of resistance to change, adherence to established norms and avoidance of ambiguity, strengthening the status quo, authority, social domination, the will of hierarchies, the firmness of authority and the stability of orthodoxy. However, in some cases, conservatism can be used for political purposes by creating a culture of fear, such as propaganda of fear, anxiety and dissonance in the form of emotional narratives.
