A secularidade organizacional pública e o campo religioso português reorientações e poderes entre Estado e religião (2001-2012)

Abstract

Between 2001 and 2009, the Portuguese religious field faced a sequenced reconfiguration which put its power structure in perspective. Two decades after the institutionalization of the Committee on Religious Freedom, the redefinition of the relationship between the secular and the religious summoned a debate on the relationship between the State, religious traditions and organizational secularities. In this article, the case of healthcare, namely the governance of religion in hospitals, interrogates the religious field from the standpoint of a public-biomedical secularity regime
