“…The first non-Catholic Christians who officially came to Latin America in the 19th century did so as citizens of a country that had signed a treaty with the local nations (Di Stefano and Zanatta, 2009; Freston, 2001; Navarro Floria, 2010; Negrão, 2008), and they built their institutional identity and social role vis-à-vis the state, not the civil society. A similar process defined secularism, or laicidad , a philosophy imposed by the state (Blancarte, 2007; Da Costa, 2011).…”

“…In Latin American scholarship, “popular” is usually an adjective for the noun “Catholicism” (De la Torre and Martín, 2016). Therefore, this conceptualization has left aside Pentecostals, other religious minorities, and the unaffiliated (Da Costa, 2011). Scholars such as Ameigeiras (2008), Blancarte (2000), and Semán (1994) apply it to Pentecostals, identifying them as “Popular Protestants,” echoing the theological Protestant tradition.…”

“…As far as secularization is understood as the separation of the religious from the political system (laı¨cite´), Latin America is secular. It is the popular will that legitimizes Latin America's political system and not a consecration from the Church (Blancarte, 2007;Da Costa, 2011;Morello, 2015;Oro, 2006). The political system has been differentiated from the religious one.…”

This is an interpretative, critical, and selective review of scholarly contributions that explore Latin America’s religious landscape. We present data, both qualitative and quantitative, from Latin America and analyze the explanations given to make sense of it. After assessing the literature that uses either secularization theory or the “religious economy” approach, we study explanations that highlight a Latin American style of “popular religiosity.” These three models, in different ways, put the emphasis on religious institutions—their vitality, commands, competition, and authority. We propose, instead, a focus on the religious practices of regular believers. We speculate that embarking from that focus, the idea of an “enchanted modernity” will help make sense of Latin America’s religious landscape. Nuanced elucidation of Latin America’s religious particularities will situate them in dialogue with other regions of the world, like western Europe and the United States, while also acknowledging the fact that Latin America is experiencing a modernization process distinct from the North Atlantic one.

“…As far as secularization is understood as church-state separation (laïcité), Latin America is secular. It is the popular will that legitimizes Latin America's political system; governments are not chosen "for the grace of God" nor do they look for consecration by the religious authority (Blancarte 2007;Da Costa 2011;Morello 2015;Oro 2006). The political system has been differentiated from the religious one, and the authority of religious professionals has diminished (Giumbelli 2008; Programa Feminista La Corriente 2013).…”

Why Study Religion from a Latin American Sociological Perspective? An Introduction to Religions Issue, “Religion in Latin America, and among Latinos Abroad”

This article introduces the Religions issue on Latin American religiosity exploring sociological perspectives on the Latin American religious situation, from a Latin American perspective. The Secularization Theory proposes “the more modernity, the less religion”, but in Latin America we see both, modernity and religiosity. The Religious Economy model, on the other hand, affirms “the more pluralization, the more religion”, but in Latin America there is not so much pluralization, and it is not easy to switch from one religion to other. Finally, the article presents a Latin American model, the “popular religiosity” one. The problem with it, is that it is mostly ‘Catholic,’ and so does not account for the growing religious diversity in the region. It also emphasizes the “popular” aspect, excluding middle socioeconomic status individuals and elites, assuming they practice “real” religion. This introduction presents a critical approach as a way to recover, describe, and understand Latin American religious practices. This methodology might be a path to creating sociological categories to understand religion beyond the north Atlantic world.

“…2 Conforme argumenta Roberto Blancarte (2012), embora a França tenha criado o conceito e se tornado um país laico, sua aplicação já acontecia em outros lugares, tais como Alemanha, México e Uruguai. 3 Três medidas do período ilustram o exposto: (1) A reforma educacional de 1877, em que o monopólio da educação foi retirado da Igreja Católica e a educação religiosa tornou-se não obrigatória (SANSÓN, 2011); (2) Lei de Registro Civil, de 1879, através desta norma retirou-se da Igreja o poder legal de reconhecimento e inscrição dos nascimentos, matrimônios e óbitos; (3) Lei de Conventos, de 1885, que declarou a inexistência legal de todos os conventos e casas de oração (DA COSTA, 2011). 4 Este termo faz referência a José Batlle y Ordoñez (Presidente do Uruguai em 1903-1907e 1911-1915 Neste contexto, a Igreja Católica aceitou que seu lugar deveria ser no âmbito privado, ao invés do público.Assim, ele passou a atuar apenas para preservar seus fiéis (SANSÓN, 1998 O começo da ditadura em 1973 freou este impulso católico.…”

Resumo: O objetivo do artigo é analisar como a inviolabilidade do direito à vida se apresentou nos discursos parlamentares na Câmara dos Deputados do Brasil entre 1991 e 2014, e na Cámara de Representantes do Uruguai, entre 1985 e 2014. Em um contexto no qual a laicidade é um valor importante nos Estados democráticos modernos, a defesa da vida ganha centralidade na controvérsia do aborto quando grupos religiosos enquadram o aborto como uma escolha entre a vida ou a morte do feto. A proposta é identificar a relevância desse argumento e comparar suas diferentes construções e articulações nos debates desses países. Palavras-chave: aborto; Brasil; Uruguai.Abstract: The objective of this article is to analyze how the inviolability of the right to life was presented in the parliamentary lectures in the Chamber of Deputies of Brazil between 1991 and 2014 and in the Uruguayan House of Representatives between 1985 and 2014. In a context in which secularism is an important value in modern democratic states, the defense of life gains centrality in the abortion controversy, since religious groups have framed the interruption of gestation as a choice between the life or death of the fetus. The proposal is to identify the relevance of this argument and compare their different constructs and articulations in the debates of these countries.
