摘要

This paper focuses on evangelical Pentecostals and aims at exposing how their beliefs work across Brazilian society, particularly through institutional politics (National Congress) between 2018 and 2024. Numerous Pentecostal churches follow Dominion Theology, viewing life as a battle between good and evil. Dominionism is a belief system that aims at building up Christian nations in anticipation of the second coming of Jesus on Earth. This doctrine uses the field of politics, among other paths, to sway public opinion toward adopting its beliefs, to garner support from individuals who share its religious conceptions, and to attract voters to advocate for legislation that aligns with its moral agendas. It examines a collection of legislation that demonstrates the activism of Pentecostals evangelicals in institutional spaces, particularly in relation to moral categories that challenge the concepts of family (civil union between individuals of the same sex), reproductive rights (abortion), and education (the project School without Party).
