Purpose The purpose of this paper is to analyse empirically the racial relations of segregation of the black population in the city of Salvador, Brazil, which built according to a subtle model of the construction of differentiated spaces for the white population and the black population in the city. Design/methodology/approach The methodology used for the construction of this manuscript was that of the action research, through the insertion of the researcher within the field of study, obtaining observational perceptions of the inhabited place and collecting reports of the research subjects inserted in the field of study. Findings The present research obtained as final results the explicit characterisation of a veiled and subtle model of racial segregation imposed on the black population of the city of Salvador, manifesting the clear prejudice of the white population and also a state racism directed to the oppressed black population. Originality/value The originality of the research consists in the fact that there is no research modality within Brazil for the analysis of historical apartheid policies. The Brazilian state, in this sense, appears within the current framework of academic research as a clear incentive and propagator of governmental actions that corroborate the maintenance of the exclusionary city system, which separates the black and white population in differentiated social spaces.
Resumo: Investigar e identificar a cultura religiosa predominante na população brasileira é essencial para o entendimento das escolhas sócio-jurídicas efetuadas no Brasil. Ao encontrar a origem do padrão cristão que circunda a grande maioria da população, torna-se possível compreender os institutos jurídicos baseados em tal crença. Não obstante, ainda que se compartilhe determinada religião pela imensa maioria do povo brasileiro, deve-se ponderar acerca dos direitos das minorias não cristãs que estão sendo violados. Somente um Estado laico proporciona o devido respeito à liberdade religiosa em sua plenitude.Palavras-chave: Cristianismo. Laicidade. Liberdade Religiosa. Religião.Abstract: Investigate and identify the predominant religious culture in the Brazilian population is essential to the understanding of socio-legal choices made in Brazil. To find the origin of the Christian pattern that surrounds the majority of the population, it becomes possible to understand the legal institutions based on such a belief. Nevertheless, even if they share certain religion by the vast majority of the Brazilian people, one must ponder the rights of Christian minorities not being violated. Only a secular state gives due respect to religious freedom in its fullness.
