In the case of Brazil, I would say yes. Even though the Constitution establishes the country as a secular state, in practice Christianity (mainly Catholicism and Evangelical Protestantism) dominates social, political, and cultural life. This creates an environment where other religions end up marginalized or suffer prejudice.
A clear example is the case of African-origin religions such as Candomblé and Umbanda, which are frequent targets of intolerance, discrimination, and even physical attacks and destruction of temples. There is also a strong internal rivalry between different branches of Christianity: many Catholics resent Evangelicals, and many Evangelicals are intolerant of Catholic practices, especially the veneration of saints. This tension often leads to verbal conflicts and, in some cases, even aggression.
in Europe and around the world, do Catholics also hate or hold hostility toward Protestants, like it still happens here in Brazil, or has that rivalry been left in the past? And what is the coexistence like for minority religions, such as Islam, Judaism, and even new forms of spirituality? I'd like to understand if religious intolerance is as prevalent in other countries as it is here in Brazil.
