Religious Freedom on the Verge

This work addresses the conflict that took place in the Imperial Brazil of Pedro II between the Church and the State in the period 1872-1875, known as the "Religious Question", and in this sense the objective is to verify the involvement of Freemasonry and the possible contribution of this Institution in the process of Brazilian secularisation, since the discussion on freedom of worship intensified and religious freedom was put on the back burner.
