One of the fundamental factors in political analysis from modernity had been the intent to overcome the religious elements into the administration of power as consolidation and expression of the liberal form of government, specifically exposed in the figuration of State. However, these contents had been preserved inside the institutions, establishing with this, specific mechanisms for interpretation of society, particularly political power. Thus, the religious contents keep on like a substrate of political concepts inside this liberal tradition. In this order of ideas, this article pretends to show the functioning of religious factors in construction of the liberal political State in Colombia, particularly how its mutations and internalizations determines surfaces of analysis to the comprehension of power in form of sovereignty. Briefly, to make a reading from biopolitical approach of construction a set of social devices about power's legitimacy conditions in its administrative form of society, applied to the process of historical consolidation about the political power in Colombia.
