Law and religion have always been very close and today this reality is no different. With the growing advance of the so-called "Evangelical Benches", society's major issues have reached another level of discussion and debate. Surrounded by dogmas and paradigms, religion and religiosity have been part of society since primitive times, and human beings have manifested their spirituality in different ways over time. On the other hand, the legislative houses have received an increasing number of parliamentarians of public religious confession, which has brought up a very old debate: Should religious people participate in a political career? Is the exercise of religious office compatible with political office? Is the participation of a "religious caucus" in legislative houses healthy for democracy? This book discusses these and other issues, starting with the origin of law, the interference of religion in its development, its role in the development of society, rights and the secularity of the state in the face of the need to regulate religious matters, as well as discussing the role of religious freedom in the face of minority rights.
