Paula Montero
Abstract This article examines the arguments made by the eleven Justices of the Supreme Federal Court who, in 2017, decided on the constitutionality of offering confessional education in public schools. We will explore how long-term disputed ethical and legal values are rearticulated in these votes concerning the notion of belief, almost 40 years after defining Religious Education as a fundamental human right by the Constitution. It is not a matter of harking back to the topic of secularism, as a social process or as a legal norm or political doctrine. The discursive analysis of the ministers’ votes formulations aims, on the contrary, to unveil the different religious constructions implied in their uses of the terms religion and rights and to understand how they operate when putting forward an idea of citizenship and/or the nation. The aim is to clarify, from this systematic examination of the votes, the configuration of common legal sense when issuing value judgments about religion and its protection. Therefore, our primary focus will be to circumscribe what counts as religion in these legal narratives.

Abstract Scholars ascribe the label “god” to many of the beings found in the world’s religions. However, the definitions of “god” commonly offered do not fit most of those entities. This article argues for a clarification of scientific/analytical language which specifies which supernatural beings are “gods” and which are something else. A likely category for most of the world’s putative “gods” is “owner-master,” a concept highly developed in Amazonian cultures and religions but present around the world, particularly in hunting and herding societies. Accordingly, the article explores “gods” in various religions that are not at all god-like by any familiar standard, presents the ontology of owner-master as a relationship of care and encompassment, and considers how employing the term “owner-master” instead of “god” in many if not most cases more accurately represents local beliefs, avoids the imposition of foreign/Christian assumptions, and contributes to an understanding of the history of the god-concept.

Abstract “Religion is the decoration of life,” declares Peter Sloterdijk in his newly translated Making the Heavens Speak: Religion as Poetry ( MHS ), arguing that much of our understanding of the spiritual life is distorted and exceptionally narrow. With refreshing and renewed vision, this text points out the ways in which the heavenly skies have been a source of divine inspiration and cipher for theopoetic illuminations. We have failed to grasp how modern secularization, ironically, was a blessing in disguise for religion since it helped to unscrew any religious authorities from the burden of needing to associate with or justify their existence through some national, political, or identity-based associations and cultural traditions. Either as a stroke of good fortune or just a contingent set of circumstances, Sloterdijk argues that religion has benefited from secularization—in becoming “useless,” religious practices have been liberated or “emancipated” from the burden of being politicized, nationalized, or mythologized.
