GOOD FRIDAY: RELIGIOUS INTOLERANCE / VIOLENCE IN BRAZIL AND EDUCATION FOR CITIZENSHIP FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF RELIGIOUS EDUCATION

Abstract

From a post on Brazilian social media, on Good Friday 2024, a reading is made about intolerance and religious violence against the affection of Christians. With this, it is intended to make the problem of the issue visible, in order to think about mutual respect, regardless of the intolerant discourses and practices presented by some, considering that, in order to live in harmony, civility is needed. In this aspect, education for citizenship is put in evidence, as a counterpoint and possible alternative to combat intolerance and religious violence, from the perspective of School Religious Education (ERE), according to new epistemologies guided by the National Common Curricular Base (BNCC). To this end, authors such as Fernandes Siqueira (2022), Junqueira (2022), Mahmood (2019), Fonseca (2017), Carvalho (2017), Berger (2017), Teixeira (2013) and Kant (2006) were consulted; in addition to using pertinent articles, news and legal standards, in printed formats and digital texts.
