Religious teaching in the school curriculum

apontamentos entre subjetividades e laicidade

Abstract

This article proposes to investigate the incursions of proselytism and violation of secularism that occurred in elementary schools during classes taught through the curricular component of religious education. Added to our empirical observation of such phenomena, readings related to the aforementioned school problem also contribute as a theoretical basis for this text. Our objective in this text is to understand the place of religious education, its contribution to mitigating proselytism and how the teacher of this component can act as a mediator of a school environment protected by ethics and peace, which is done with a democratic, pluralistic pedagogy and secular.
