| Sumario: | This study aimed to understand the extent and direction of the human values are correlated with religious prejudice. However, previously demanded to elaborate and know evidence of validity of the Religious Tolerance Scale (RTS). Participated were 200 high school students in a public school in Joao Pessoa (PB), with a mean age of 17 years (sd = 2.12), mostly females (58%). They answered the RTS, the Basic Values Survey and demographic questions. Results indicated a negative correlation of the excitement and suprapersonal sub-functions with the scores on the general factor of religious prejudice. Moreover, there was a positive correlation of these scores with the frequency with young people participated in activities of their church. These findings were discussed based on the classical conception of prejudice, highlighting the importance of the functionalist theory of value to explain it. Finally, we stress the importance of religious education as an alternative to alleviate this type of prejudice. |
