Abstract
This proposal aims to deepen some understandings about Brazilian secularization. We intend to return to the public debate about secularism in Brazilian public schools nowadays. Moreover, we question the purpose and place of the subject Religious Teaching as part of the scholar curriculum in elementary school. This inquire is inspired by a case study done in a public school located in Santo André, São Paulo. We reached three conclusions: first of all, there is a lack of State responsibility in what concerns this theme; secondly, the discussion should be part and parcel of teaching formation, and; finally, discussions and exchanges with researchers from other countries about secularization may be enlightening for a better definition of the secular model in Brazil.
