As an objective, it seeks to understand the problem of intolerance with religions of African origin in elementary school; research on cultural and religious diversity in the school space and quote legal documents that support religious education in Brazilian education schools. Religious intolerance is a reality in Brazil, there is still a large number of people who do not understand the importance of Religious Education in schools, however, what may possibly be lacking is information regarding this relevance. Since Brazil is a secular state, Religious Education should not focus on a single religion, thus avoiding proselytism. However, it is necessary for the population to realize that religion is part of Brazilian culture and, as such, must be valued and respected by each one. For the development of the present work, a bibliographic research was carried out, its theoretical framework being composed of authors who developed works pertinent to the topic addressed, as well as, through articles andmonographs found in databases and electronic sites, such as, for example, Scielo and Google Scholar. It is concluded that, although there are laws that are strict regarding religious teaching in schools, which are known to education professionals, few educators actually fulfill what is recommended in them, thus, the issue of intolerance is makes it more and more recurrent.
