El presente artículo analiza en profundidad el contexto general en el que se encuentra la enseñanza de las religiones minoritarias en el Estado español. Centramos nuestra atención en el caso concreto de Andalucía (extensible al caso español) y, en dos de las tres religiones que han firmado acuerdos de Cooperación con el Estado español: la evangélica y la islámica. El marco político y legislativo garantiza el derecho de los padres a que sus hijos reciban formación religiosa y moral, acorde a sus convicciones, en la escuela pública. Sin embargo, la puesta en práctica de los derechos de estos grupos, está siendo insignificante en una sociedad española cada vez más plural y multirreligiosa. ; This article analyzes in depth the general context of the teaching of the minority religions in the Spanish State. We focus on the specific case of andalusia (extensible to the Spanish case), and on two of the three religions that have signed Cooperation agreements with the Spanish State: the Evangelical and the Islamic religions. The legislative framework guarantees the parents the right to religious and moral education for their children, according to their beliefs, in public schools. However, putting these rights in practice is being insignificant in the more and more plural and multireligious Spanish society.

Cemeteries become social spaces where many symbolic meanings converge both in their material and immaterial dimensions, and perhaps above all, in their expression of communities and their construction of identities and otherness. This article explores how religious diversity has found its place within Spanish cemeteries. Although this debate is linked to contemporary immigration and the religious groups it has brought, religious diversity has challenged Spanish funerary customs for a long time. As we will argue in this article, the debates around where to put the "other dead" are an inherent part of funerary heritage in Spain. By looking at four spaces dedicated to the burial of non-Catholics who died in Spain, we will attempt to show how some symbolic and identity-based constants related to the separation of graves persist today and how Spanish society is opening up to considering burial spaces as part of a common heritage.
