Synopsis

The reflections around religion, politics and emancipation, proposed in this work, are extremely opportune for us to make some critical considerations in the face of the current configuration that the religious phenomenon has been acquiring today, both in Brazil and internationally.

The close relationship between Religion and State in Brazil is not new. Historically, since imperial times, the Catholic Church has always exercised great influence on public power, whether with regard to the moral character of rulers, or in the very appointment of its ideological representatives to strategic positions in the elaboration and implementation of public policies.
