Resumo

In this paper, we sustain the thesis that there is a violent aspect in the religious attitude. However, it is also true – as paradoxical as it might sound – that religion has been the privileged field to limit all kinds of violence in human societies.


Keywords: Religion. Violence. Sacrifice. Frazer. Girard. Eliade.
