In Brazil, the constitutional principle of republican separation between Church and State is understood and taken, in general, as the fundamental normative and institutional parameter of what our secularism is or should be, although there is no mention in the Constitution of the expressions secular and secularism. Although there is a consensus that article 19 of the Constitution, which establishes this separation, must be respected, disagreement often prevails between different social agents, including current religious and secular opponents, about what should really be followed and respected in this case, since, depending on the situation, the interests and values at stake, they tend to trigger different and contradictory conceptions of secularism.
