Abstract

This article aims to address religious freedom as a fundamental right arising from the principle of human dignity, and how such manifestation may or may not interfere with the public freedoms of others.The logical-deductive methodology is used to research the literature indicated in the bibliographical references, as well as the jurisprudence of the Federal Supreme Court on the proposed theme. In its structure, the present article starts from the analysis of the process of understanding the importance of religion for the construction of the concept of human dignity in history and in the Federal Constitution, and how proselytism, being the manifestation of freedom of expression and of the right to free manifestation of thought, will interfere in public spaces, affecting or not the rights of third parties.
