Resumo:This article aims to reflect on the importance of inclusive spiritual nursing care for individuals without religion. In health care, the spiritual dimension plays a crucial role in the overall well-being of individuals. Although neglected by most health professionals. The evolution of religiosity, spirituality and health care in Brazil presents a rich and diverse trajectory throughout the country’s history. During the colonial period, the catholic religion played a dominant role, being the main belief system and spiritual reference of the population. When caring for non-religious people, nursing professionals must adopt an individualized and respectful approach, recognizing that spirituality goes beyond traditional religious beliefs. This implies creating a welcoming environment that allows patients to freely express their beliefs, values ​​and sources of spiritual comfort.
