INSTITUIÇÕES PÚBLICAS E ENSINO RELIGIOSO: ANÁLISE DOS IMPACTOS DA DECISÃO DO STF SOBRE O ENSINO RELIGIOSO CONFESSIONAL NAS ESCOLAS PÚBLICAS E NA SOCIEDADE BRASILEIRA

Abstract

The present work aims to analyze the impacts of the decision issued by the Brazilian Supreme Court at the judgment of Direct Action of Unconstitutionality nº 4439 in 2017. In the decision it was decided that public schools can promote confessional religious education. In view of this, the question is: will confessional religious education cause positive impacts on students and the society in which they live? How will the State implement the discipline of religious education? Will there be economic, as well as political and social impacts? Faced with such questioning, we seek to analyze the challenges that Brazilian municipal schools will face to restructure confessional religious education in their curriculum, as well as the impact that this new perspective will provide to students and Brazilian society. In addition, the study is still concerned with analyzing the political impacts of that decision, analyzing how politics and religion can walk together towards an increasingly consolidated democracy. The work was divided into two chapters, each subdivided into three subsections. The present work sought to answer the questions listed, addressing the role of education and teaching as the main mechanism for the transformations raised through the aforementioned decision emanating from Direct Action of Unconstitutionality nº 4439.
