Religiosity in this study pertains to five dimensions, namely: public practice, private practice, religious experience, ideology, and intellectual dimensions. Service quality is defined as an overall judgment similar to attitude towards the service and is generally accepted as an antecedent of overall customer satisfaction.

It utilized a descriptive-correlational research design through the survey method.
