Abstract

This study analyzes conscientious objection in the Brazilian legal system. In a limited way, it examines the content, limits and ownership of the fundamental right to conscientious objection on religious grounds. The text is divided into two parts. The first deals with the right to religious freedom in a broad sense, understood as a bundle of jusfundamental positions that relate both to freedom of conscience and to the socio-cultural fact of religious living. The second section deals specifically with conscientious objection, examining its content, limits and ownership. The dialectical method of countering arguments is used, along with bibliographical and jurisprudential research based on the Brazilian legal system. At the end, controllable criteria for exercising the right to conscientious objection are systematized.
