La educación religiosa en el marco del pluralismo religioso en Colombia

Abstract

In Colombia there has been a series of changes in cultural, political, economic, religious and educational matters, that have taken the State and other institutions to orientate, through juridical norms, the society to individual and collective respect in the plurality that is seen currently, where there is no violation of the person´s rights and the freedom of the human being is respected in thought, act, and belief. From the “Colombian Political Constitution of 1991”, the religious plurality has been reflected in our country in a stronger way, because with this document there is guaranty of the liberty of cults, respecting the people and the communities that profess a different belief, giving them the right of spreading and teaching it. In the text there are references for the laws and norms related to the religious pluralism in Colombia, and especially to the ones that concern to the school´s religious education as a way to reach humanistic fullness, in other words, an education directed to “Be”, “Do”, and “Know How to Do”.
