Resumo: The goal of this article is to present, in a descriptive and analytical manner, the relationship between the state and religions, i.e. religious communities in Germany, as a subsidy for such discussion in Brazil. References for comparison in Brazil are, generally, France and the United States. Both the French laicité and the United States’ wall of separation clearly differ from the German model. The latter does not leave doubts as to the neutrality of the state in religious matters, but presents itself, at the same time, as a model of generosity in relation to the religions. In spite of the traditional biconfessionality, this model appears to be compatible with a growing religious pluralism. The religious situation in Germany is presented in a sociological perspective, followed by an analysis of the legal situation of religions in that country in the perspective of law, historically and systematically. The article ends pointing to historical documents that show traces of the German model, suggesting to the reader that this model would be worth discussing again in today’s Brazilian context.

Referências comparativas no discurso brasileiro são, em geral, a França e os Estados Unidos. Tanto a laicité francesa quanto o wall of separation estadunidense se distinguem do modelo alemão. Este não deixa dúvidas sobre a neutralidade do estado em termos da religião, mas se apresenta, ao mesmo tempo, como modelo generoso em relação às religiões. Apesar da tradicional biconfessionalidade, o modelo parece ser compatível com um crescente pluralismo religioso. Apresenta-se a situação religiosa na Alemanha em um olhar sociológico, para em seguida analisar a situação legal das religiões nesse país desde uma perspectiva jurídica, histórica e sistematicamente. No final, remeto pontualmente a traços do modelo alemão em documentos históricos no Brasil, sugerindo ao leitor que este modelo caberia ser ponderado novamente no contexto brasileiro hodierno.Editora da Pucrs - ediPUCRS2014-09-19info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionSociologia; Direito; Teologiaapplication/pdfhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/index.php/civitas/article/view/1660310.15448/1984-7289.2014.3.16603Civitas: journal of Social Sciences; Vol. 14 No. 3 (2014): Religion and globalization; 467-483Civitas: revista de Ciências Sociais; Vol. 14 Núm. 3 (2014): Religião e globalização; 467-483Civitas: revista de Ciências Sociais; v. 14 n. 3 (2014): Religião e globalização; 467-4831984-72891519-608910.15448/1984-7289.2014.3reponame:Civitas - Revista de Ciências Sociais (Porto Alegre.
