Resumo: | In this article we strive to reflect upon and problematize about Marcel Gauchet's thesis concerning the process of leaving Religion. In a first moment, we discuss the Gauchetian concept of Religion. In this philosopher's work the term Religion is connected to primitive societies. In these societies the social cohesion originated from an heteronomous absolute power. Hence, the essence of Religion was characterized by the utmost heteronomy. Secondly, we examine the meaning of the expression Leaving Religion. According to Gauchet, the Leaving Religion process occurs when, in human societies, the heteronomy gives place to autonomy. Religion gradually leaves the place it occupied in early times. With modernity, the age of Religion ends, however the religious does not disappear. Religion will endure in individual terms. In the third and final part of the article, we problematize the gist of Gauchet's thesis based upon the study of a few authors on contemporary Religion and on the Brazilian socioreligious reality. We interrogate that Religion cannot be explained solely by its bond with Politics. It also interacts with other elements of human life such as culture. And when Religion is still a vigorous cultural component, the thesis of leaving Religion becomes involved with ambiguity. |

No primeiro momento discorremos acerca da concepção gauchetiana de religião. Na obra do filósofo o termo religião remonta às sociedades primitivas. Nessas sociedades a coesão social advém de um poder absoluto e heterônomo. A essência da religião caracteriza-se, assim, pelo máximo da heteronomia. No segundo momento examinamos o significado da máxima saída da religião. Segundo Gauchet, a saída da religião ocorre quando a heteronomia dá lugar à autonomia no desenvolvimento das sociedades humanas, ou seja, quando a religião abandona o lugar que ocupava em seus primórdios. A era da religião findou, contudo o religioso não desaparecerá. A religião subsistirá no âmbito individual. No terceiro e último momento do artigo problematizamos o teor da tese de Gauchet a partir da leitura de alguns autores acerca de religião na contemporaneidade e da realidade sociorreligiosa brasileira. Indagamos que a religião não pode ser pensada unicamente a partir do vínculo com a política. Ela interage, também, com outros elementos da vida humana, como a cultura. E quando a religião é ainda um componente cultural vigoroso, a tese saída da religião se envolve de ambiguidade.Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Minas Gerais2017-08-02info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttp://periodicos.pucminas.br/index.php/interacoes/article/view/P.1983-2478.2017v12n21p9410.5752/P.1983-2478.2017v12n21p94INTERAÇÕES; Vol 12 No 21 (2017): Dossier: Religion and contemporaneity; 94-111INTERAÇÕES; Vol. 12 Núm. 21 (2017): Dossiê: Religião e Contemporaneidade; 94-111INTERAÇÕES; v. 12 n. 21 (2017): Dossiê: Religião e Contemporaneidade; 94-1111983-2478reponame:Interações (Uberlândia.
