OLIVEIRA DA CRUZ, Fabio Henrique. Evangélicos en Brasil: la relación entre religión y política en la esfera pública. Franciscanum [online]. 2022, vol.64, n.178, pp.12-12.  Epub 10-Oct-2022. ISSN 0120-1468.  https://doi.org/10.21500/01201468.5621.

The evangelical movement (wave) has shown a significant growth among the Brazilian population in recent decades, which has also manifested itself in political representation and, consequently, draws the attention for the political projects that this group raises. For this reason, studies in this area are extremely relevant to understand how this relationship between religious and seculars should take place in the public space. After analysis based on the hypothetical-deductive methodology, it was found that both religious and people with different worldviews should act in the public space with respect and tolerance. Imposing a way of looking at the world goes against the essence of liberalism and the democratic rule of law, as it violates basic issues such as the right to free consciousness and religion freedom itself.

Palabras clave : Evangelicals in Brazil; Religion; Politics; Secular State; Public sphere.
