VARGAS, EVANDRO FRANCISCO MARQUES  y  PINHO, LEANDRO GARCIA. AN EXAMINATION OF THE STATE OF ART IN ACADEMIC PUBLICATIONS ON RELIGIOUS EDUCATION IN BRAZIL (2012-2017). Educ. rev. [online]. 2020, vol.36, e235147.  Epub 20-Nov-2020. ISSN 1982-6621.  https://doi.org/10.1590/0102-4698235147.

In the area of the History of Education, the theme of Religious Education moves heated debates. This article takes as a matter of study how the productions in academic journals focused on the discussion of religious education in Brazil have been delineated from their specific legislations. To this end, a survey was conducted in the database of the portal of journals of the Coordination of Improvement of Higher Level Personnel and from the articles published in the five years 2012 to 2017 made the effort to achieve a state of the art on the subject. The conclusion is that the selected articles unveil the limits and challenges to secularism by making the regulation of religious teaching and its implementation a mechanism for the regulation of religion in the public educational sphere. However, it is highlighted in the result of our analysis that the process of schooling of religious education goes through a unique moment in the search for curricular affirmation and epistemological reconstruction motivated by legal positivation, which prohibits proselytism, and gives support to the discussion of themes and phenomena that they incur the concrete reality in which the school culture moves.

Palabras clave : Religious education; legislation; secularism.
