Movimentos inter-religiosos no Brasil

direitos humanos, decolonialidade e pluralismo em debate

Abstract

The text presents partial results of research that analyzes interreligious organizations and movements in Brazil based on the concept of the pluralist principle. It aims to systematize, based on observation of practices and studies of documents from prominent inter-religious experiences in Brazil, the degree of incidence of these groups in efforts to deepen democracy, the defense of human and earth rights, citizenship, appreciation of ethnic, sexual and gender diversity, and other effective decolonial forms of counter-hegemonic social articulation. Among the results, we present theoretical bases that show that it is necessary, for social analyses, to pay special attention to the articulation between the capacity for dialogue of religious groups and the challenges surrounding social agendas that reinforce decolonial socio-religious perspectives. The profile of some inter-religious experiences within the scope of the research is also indicated.
