The Civil Government with the use of Padroado , exerted unlimited power over ecclesiastic affairs, changing the Brazilian Catholic Church into an ordinary State department, or a branch of the secular government. That relationship had caused tension between those two spheres, secular government and ecclesiastical government in the main stages of development of the country. Within these parameters, not always in a visible way, brazilian culture has been shaped. Aiming at a critic comprehension of these cultural developments, the figure of the intellectual has been analysed in that process. Besides the study of intellectuals, in that process our goal was to describe the new ideas being established in Brazil, specially in the academy. Comte, Marx and Weber, through their works, had a powerfull influence on brazilian thought. The founding of the University of São Paulo (USP) is representative of the power of these new ideas and their reception by our intelectuals in 1934. This thesis analysed how religion was seen in the academies and specially by some thinkers who wrote classics on the field both of Human and Social Sciences. The works Casa Grande & Senzala, Raízes do Brasil e Formação do Brasil Contemporâneo and their authors Gilberto Freyre, Sérgio Buarque de Holanda e Caio Prado Júnior, respectively, were discussed in order to identify the role of religion and its value to create a solid and clear scientific vision of Brazil. The Thesis analyses the development of a social thinking of Portuguese matrix, and its growth in Brazil. The question of religion in Brazil is complex and varied. The strong influence of religion in Brazilian society opens a vast field of research into the social construction of Brazilian identity
