“…Thereby, the evangelicals affirm their social visibility, claim a place in the political structure, and empower their religious identity. This process has as its driving force the political identity of minoritarization, an identity activism that forces the evangelicals to leave their historical political marginality-the social stigma of poverty and as a demographically minority religious group-to occupy representative positions in the country’s political structure (Burity 2020 , 2018 ).…”

“…Therefore, they perform as a reactive movement to any threat to the establishment (heteronormative family, morality, tradition, and nation). Hence, Christian churches’ social and political activism is condensed into resistance to the advances in democratization implemented by the egalitarian agenda of the feminist, LGBTQ+, and ethnic and racial minority movements (Burity 2020 ; Carranza 2020 ; Carranza and Vital-Cunha 2018 ; De la Torre 2020 ), which have found governability in the progressive governments that have been in power in recent years (Burity 2018 : 23). 65…”

“…The same evangelical leaders who came to executive power with Bolsonaro made alliances with the governments of Lula and Dilma, of the Workers’ Party (Partido dos Trabalhadores), in the elections that put them in power, which shows the pragmatic character that these evangelical segments adopted before diving into the power project of the Christian right. As Burity ( 2018 : 31) discusses, the conservative demands that emerged from the “June 2013 Days,” among other factors, favored new alliances that united evangelicals to the new conservative wave that culminated in Dilma Rousseff’s impeachment in 2016, based on three strategies: demoralization of the anti-cyclical economic policies of the left, the anti-corruption agenda and the reaction to identity policies.…”

In Brazil, the Covid-19 pandemic is triggering tensions in health management that provoke, among others, a political crisis led by the federal government, characterized by negationist postures regarding the seriousness of the disease and lack of focus on public health policies. There is also an information crisis enabled by the political strategy of dissemination of disinformation that disqualifies scientific parameters and the role of the press. In this context, churches and Christian religious leaders who have risen to power in recent years play a fundamental role, which allows them to be analyzed from their performance as a public religion. By decreeing the closure of religious temples, as a preventive measure for the advance of the disease, evangelicalpentecostal churches insert into the public debate the defense of the essentiality of religious service as a fundamental dimension for society, conferring support and legitimacy to the action of the government. In this sense, this paper argues that the Brazilian scenario, when compared to other Latin American countries, is an outlier. Based on ethnographic research within online media and the religious media circuit, this paper maintains that, nationally, religion takes the lead in the political and information crisis. At the same time, this study affirms that, approaching other countries of the region, the churches reinvented mediatized religious practices, deriving from the social distancing and isolation, and offered new meanings and religious moralities around the health crisis.

“…Por esse aspecto, é possível afirmar que está em curso uma onda conservadora como reação transnacional e globalizada diante de alguns acontecimentos políticos ocorridos nas duas últimas décadas em torno: a) da ascensão do multiculturalismo e lutas para o reconhecimento e acesso de direitos das minorias sociais às políticas de bem-estar, à segurança de cidadania e políticas de equidade; (Burity, 2018).…”

“…No cenário brasileiro, a disputa pela hegemonia política no País passou a redesenhar a conformação das forças políticas e sociais que foram agudizadas por acontecimentos como: a) as chamadas "Jornadas de Junho de 2013", em que explodiram as manifestações de rua e reuniram o inconformismo com a situação macropolítica do País, em um movimento disperso e heterogêneo contra as instituições, em suas mais diferentes expressões; b) a retomada da agenda anticorrupção em torno da investigação de um determinado grupo político, com um alto grau de contradição e incendiada, de forma efusiva, pela grande mídia nacional; c) os limites da governabilidade do governo do PT diante da política de coalisão com um Congresso Nacional abertamente fisiologista e obstacularizador das ações governistas; d) a adoção de políticas anticíclicas como antídoto pouco efetivo para a saída da crise econômica em 2013, acompanhada de políticas de austeridade fiscal, cortes e distanciamento das expectativas de diversos setores da sociedade (Burity, 2018).…”

Conservative Wave, Religion and the Secular State in Post-impeachment Brazil

This article analyses the sociocultural and political transformations experienced during the process of Brazilian democratisation since the 1980s, in relation to a concomitant evangelical-Pentecostal political emergence. The proposed analysis situates the process of religious change amid the multidimensionality and contingency of demands for expanding democratisation, resulting in a reconfiguration of the political and cultural markers that defined the secular state in the Brazilian case. An effort is also made to understand this case in the light of similar (and increasingly disseminative) processes in Latin America and the North Atlantic part of the Northern Hemisphere. Different configurations of Brazilian Pentecostalism as public religion and its profound implications for the disputes for the secularity of the state in a pluralist key are highlighted. The approach is based on a critical dialogue with the contributions of William Connolly's pluralist theory and Ernesto Laclau and Chantal Mouffe's theory of political discourse and a series of Brazilian and Latin American academic interlocutors. The argument benefits from research carried out especially in the last seven years in Brazil, alongside comparative work carried out in Brazil, Argentina, the UK, and literature on other Latin American cases. The guiding threads of the analysis are the experience of evangelical minoritisation in national politics and the recent attempt by Pentecostals and conservative evangelicals to hegemonise society.
