Resumo:
The purpose of this research is to understand to what extent the influence of
Brazilian colonization interferes or complicates the understanding of Religious
Teaching and the relationship between educator and student in the reality we
live: a capital, Salvador, with a religious and cultural diversity, with an afrodescending
majority. We live with a series of prejudices and religious
intolerance that can turn the classes of Religious Teaching not as respectful as
they should be, as well as to harm the educational practice, turning classes in a
construction site of more prejudices. For this reason, we look at the need of
integration between education, religion and culture for the discernment between
educator and student, understanding that each one has his/her own
experiences and convictions of religious and cultural life, in which tolerance and
ethics are basic principles.
