LIBERDADE DE CRENÇAS RELIGIOSAS QUE CONFLITAM COM O ORDENAMENTO CONSTITUCIONAL BRASILEIRO

Abstract

There has never been, along the history of Christianity, a clue of a religion considered as the single one or given by Jesus Christ, entity that is the center of Christianity. Neither, there is a specific protection for any of them in Brazilian law. The Constitution just guarantees the freedom of worship. So, through the ages, a huge amount of religious denominations emerged and they, sometimes, show up through practices considered unorthodox, violating Brazilian legislation. Religious beliefs have been discussed a lot by society and law professionals, theologians and scientists of religion and, consequently, generating many questions about this subject, both for their followers and for those who have aspirations to build a more just, isonomic and truly secular society. Faced with divergent equidistant points among the different segments of society about religious beliefs, it is necessary that authorized people in the legal and religious areas , deepen their knowledge and seek theoretical and scientific basis to formulate some kind of script - guide to explain this matter and, thus, mitigate faith conflicts rooted in Brazilian social organization and , from that , to suggest possible solutions. Because it is a complex question, the term “ freedom of religion “ becomes very subjective and the ignorance about it overrides the legal rulings and this takes denominational leaders to overcome and violate the fundamental constitutional guarantees that rule a democratic society. So, we believe that this research is socially and culturally relevant as a scientific analysis that seeks solutions to mitigate existing conflicts within the faith-based institutions
