To carry out the study, narrative research was used as a method, training memorials for the production and collection of data and content analysis for interpretive inference. Six scholars from the undergraduate courses in Physics, Biological Sciences and Mathematics participated in the study. The training memorials showed how the issue of religious freedom in relation to the Adventist student has been highlighted: between intolerance and respect for divergent thinking. They also demonstrated the existence of teachers, as well as students willing to collaborate with religious freedom, offering alternatives in relation to the activities carried out on Saturdays.
