This dissertation analyses in a sociological prospect the disconfessionalization of the religious places in the public hospitals of Porto Alegre and its transformation into interreligious places. It shows that this process relies on the principle of equality between religions. The work tries to check and analyze the state mechanisms that enable this phenomenon. It shows that Federal Constitution of 1988 and some national policies of Ministry oh Healt are used as instruments of public agents for disconfessionalize the religious places, that were exclusively catholic until the beginning of the 21st century. On the other hand, it shows the resistance of the catholic religious agents to this process. It shows that disconfessionalization is also done by people of religious minorities interested to dissolve the hegemonic presence of catholic religion in the hospitals. The work also analyses how the religious assistance is done in public and private hospitals, comparing this service in both kind of hospitals. It shows that this kind of assistance try to adapt to the modernization of the institutions and the growing religious pluralism of the Brazilian society. To understand the change of the religious places and the religious assistance, the work appeal to the sociological and theoretical analyses of phenomenon like secularization, secularism, and the constitution of the secular state, and it shows an historical approach of the relation between religion and state in Brazil.
