Pensando diferença religiosa no combate ao racismo religioso / Thinking about religious difference in the fight against religious racism

Abstract

In recent years, many cases of religious intolerance and, consequently, religious racism, have been reported in Organs competent bodies and shared in the social networks of the internet, and in the media. Among countless cases, the religions that suffer the greatest attack are those of African origin such as Umbanda and Candomblé. This text, based on a doctoral thesis that aimed to study the difference through images, sought to think about the religious difference with an image and the student narratives posted on pages of the social network of the Internet Facebook, created for the purposes of this research (# difference). In this context, we aim to observe the developments of religious racism in the school environment and outside. How do students relate to racism and religious intolerance within the school and from their networks? Our analyzes start from reports and content shared by the media and on social networks, in an attempt to reflect on these and other issues in our contemporaneity.
