The results of the research show that the religious value implied in Lubdaka as a kalua hunter is connected with the modern situation of today's modern society, it turns out that there are still many human beings who prefer to hunt for physical satisfaction, so he will tend to be more concerned with material things, as if they were the most essential prestige in this world. He would not feel that matter would actually be able to lead people into the abyss of sin if humans could not control it. Then humans who have fallen into the valley of sin will always feel far from God Almighty. If humans already feel far from God then it will be as if they have forgotten the essence of humanity. If man is far from his Creator, it means that he has forgotten his human essence.
