Resumo: This study addresses the relationship between religion and epidemics seeking recurrent postures throughout history. This study was stimulated by the question: What is the relationship between epidemic and religion? It is seen that ancient societies attributed both natural and religious causes to epidemics. The idea of epidemics as punishment is also recurrent in history. The groups indicated as guilty were the same ones that were already discriminated in that society before the epidemic. It is concluded that religion can play relevant roles in coping with the disease and encouraging solidarity. However, it can also play harmful roles, which leads to the worsening of the crisis. So, religious attitudes in epidemics oscillate from essential to perverse.

Este estudo foi estimulado a partir da indagação: qual a relação entre epidemia e religião? Observa-se que sociedades antigas atribuíam simultaneamente causas naturais e religiosas para as epidemias, que é recorrente na história a ideia de epidemias como castigo e que os grupos indicados como culpados eram os mesmos que já discriminados pela sociedade em questão antes da epidemia. Considera-se que a religião pode desempenhar papéis relevantes no enfrentamento da doença e no incentivo à solidariedade, mas pode também desempenhar papéis maléficos, que levam ao agravamento da crise. Por isso as posturas religiosas nas epidemias oscilam do essencial ao perverso.Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo2020-09-28info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistas.pucsp.br/index.php/rever/article/view/5068910.23925/1677-1222.2020vol20i2a10REVER: Journal for the Study of Religion; Vol. 20 No. 2 (2020): Espiritualidade e saúde; 139-152REVER: Revista de Estudos da Religião; v. 20 n. 2 (2020): Espiritualidade e saúde; 139-1521677-1222reponame:Rever (São Paulo.
