O processo de construção de identidades não religiosas entre jovens estudantes em Betim, Minas Gerais, Brasil

This article is the result of a master's research, being part of the discussions of the dissertation developed, in which analyzes the processes that lead young students in a public school in Betim, Minas Gerais, Brazil to identify themselves as irreligious. Based on Thematic Oral History, it highlights the construction of youth identity based on family socialization, personal questions and cultural influences, such as media and social networks. The categories of analysis observed include religious indifference, religion as a non-place of belonging and the logical problem of evil. The analysis concludes that the non-religious identity of these young people reflects contemporary sociocultural changes and the complexity of individual experiences in a context of religious diversity and the dilemmas of these young people reflect anguish in the face of realities that religions cannot respond to in an accessible or understandable way.

Abstract

This article is the result of a master's research, being part of the discussions of the dissertation developed, in which analyzes the processes that lead young students in a public school in Betim, Minas Gerais, Brazil to identify themselves as irreligious. Based on Thematic Oral History, it highlights the construction of youth identity based on family socialization, personal questions and cultural influences, such as media and social networks. The categories of analysis observed include religious indifference, religion as a non-place of belonging and the logical problem of evil. The analysis concludes that the non-religious identity of these young people reflects contemporary sociocultural changes and the complexity of individual experiences in a context of religious diversity and the dilemmas of these young people reflect anguish in the face of realities that religions cannot respond to in an accessible or understandable way.
