The results of the study: First, the preference for reading religious books is at a „medium“ level, due to a number of factors including: (1) time-consuming college assignments, (2) low motivation due to perceptions of religious issues as „personal rights“, (3) an Islamic Religious Education environment that is less „motivating“, „reinforcing“, (4) the availability of religious books is not suitable for students' needs, and (5) the academic climate is less conducive which limits freedom, the breadth of reading religious books. Second, religious literacy, the micro dimension, is in a moderate position, namely the preference for reading religious books „sufficiently“has a significant effect on the development of students' abilities. Research contributions: (1) provide a factual map of preference for religious/religious books in the millennial generation at public universities in the 2018-2022 range.
