摘要:Beginning with the question about if religion has a foundational importance with concern to formation of cultural identity of democratic societies, characterized by multiculturalism, the paper reflects on possibility of religion support a collective identity and the political evolution of these societies. The responses are negative, because both cultural identity and political evolution of society depend of individualism (lifestyles and rights of participation). However, it recognizes the importance of principles such solidarity, equality and mutual respect, defended by many religions, asking how they can be founded and what social identity they might found or presuppose in a situation of multiculturalism and laicism.
