Chico Alencar: religion without discrimination to the other!
The federal deputy Chico Alencar, of Socialism and Liberty Party (PSOL), who attended the 4 th Manifestation in Defense of Religious Liberty, said that "religion is a manifestation of the human spirit. The important thing is express it without discrimination and not deny the respect for plurality of the other ones".
About the manifestation, he said that about 80% of the population isn’t white and it has influences from the religions of Africa. For this reason, this population manifestation. He admits that 67% of Brazilians are Catholic and the growth of evangelicals, but regrets that some of them adopt biased position, it must be fought.
He proposes that religion is living in polarities as intelligence and faith, devotion and respect the different, mystical and in action, the majority and transition in the religious reality. Notes that the hegemony is over and says that diversity is healthy, since that don’t reinforce religious discrimination. He argued that we should avoid the religious competitions.
For this parliamentary, the authentic religion is generous and preaches brotherhood, no marks of capitalism and is not materialistic, but speaks of fullness, allows anyone who wants to be an atheist, but with a humanist approach. Otherwise, the expression of faith denies the human condition that assumes, he concludes.
