This article takes as a matter of study how the productions in academic journals focused on thediscussion of religious education in Brazil have been delineated from their specific legislations. To thisend, a survey was conducted in the database of the portal of journals of the Coordination ofImprovement of Higher Level Personnel and from the articles published in the five years 2012 to 2017made the effort to achieve a state of the art on the subject. The conclusion is that the selected articlesunveil the limits and challenges to secularism by making the regulation of religious teaching and itsimplementation a mechanism for the regulation of religion in the public educational sphere. However,it is highlighted in the result of our analysis that the process of schooling of religious education goesthrough a unique moment in the search for curricular affirmation and epistemological reconstructionmotivated by legal positivation, which prohibits proselytism, and gives support to the discussion ofthemes and phenomena that they incur the concrete reality in which the school culture moves.
