abstract This article analyzes the configurations of three religion class programs in the Chilean school system, focusing
on the approaches and justifications that support them. The three programs are: Catholicism, Evangelicalism, and
the Baha'i Faith. Based on a content analysis, complemented by interviews with program designers and teachers,
it emerged that the Catholic religion program bases its content on divine revelation interpreted by a tradition,
which challenges the reader. The Evangelical religion program is based on the Bible, which reveals a perennial
truth. The Baha'i Faith program posits that each religion contributes aspects of divine revelation; its content
showcases components of various religions to advance the unity of humanity. At the end of the article, some
implications of these results for the legitimacy of religion classes in public schools are discussed.
