Sumario:Given the need to explore more deeply the way in which religiosity/spirituality (R/S) has arisen in the studies of Psychology, this study presents a critical reflection regarding the scientific literature produced on R/S, based on a professional experience report that narrates the insertion of a psychology professional in a peripheral community while working with families in a medium-sized city in the state of São Paulo. This report aims to reflect on how the dimension of R/S emerges in this context with Social and Community Psychology as its guide. The professional who works with the community is committed to the promotion of (human and social) rights, to subjects’ protagonism and to quality of life for everyone. This professional must accept different denominations and understand senses and meanings attributed to them by the communities he works with. The secularity of psychological practice cannot be confused with the neglect surrounding this dimension, but rather with its ethical, critical, and permanently humanizing acceptance of the assisted populations.
