Religious Intolerance - by Djamila Ribeiro

Master and PhD in Linguistics from the University of São Paulo, babalorixá Sidnei Nogueira presents a history of religious intolerance in Brazil, also remembering important moments in the history of humanity marked by religious domination, such as the Roman Empire, the Middle Ages and Nazism. From there, it discusses the expression "religious intolerance", currently used to describe a set of ideologies and attitudes offensive to beliefs, rituals and religious practices considered non-hegemonic. Practices that, combined with the lack of ability or willingness to recognize and respect different beliefs of third parties, can be considered hate crimes that harm human freedom and dignity.
