religious education, interculturality, religious diversityAbstract
Educational processes centered on objects of study tend to generate anthropocentric postures, questionable universalizations, and indoctrinating educational practices. When religious education prioritizes content, there is a risk of promoting moralizing processes. From the perspective of interculturality, it is possible to rethink religious education: it is a question of the religious being not understood as a content or object of study, but as a benchmark and as a human experience that provides a basis for dialogue and coexistence.
