Sumario:Brazil, since its “discovery” was becoming catholic by the imposition of colonizers and Catholicism was until the proclamation of the republic the oficial Brazilian religion. Even after the separation of state and religion, with the establishment of the republic, the Catholic religion, above all, was not restricted to the private sphere and continued to exert influence in the public sphere, including through legal concessions. This situation allowed not only the Catholic Church to continue to influence Brazilian society, but also raised disputes among other religions, which slowly began to claim their importance for society, especially in the case of Protestantism. In this paper I present some theoretical currents about secularization and laicization of modern societies seeking to make a retrospective of the interwining between religion and space/public sphere.
