Abstract

The ascension of Pentecostals denominations in the formal market of Brazilian religiosity symbolizes a real breach of paradigms. From marginality or from the stigma of "sect" that characterizes this segment, they proceeded to occupy a privileged plan in economic and spiritual field. This exponencial social visibility in detriment of other religious denominations, especially the Catholic, guides the contextual landmark of this research. In the middle of an unusual spiritual perception of post modernity, or simply a mega marketing project, the fact is that the neopentecostals occupy a position of prominence in Brazilian religious market. The new possibilities of perception of the sacred are corollaries of urban space. Largely, the space exerts a pressure on the direction of individual choices. But the socioeconomic conditions turns out to be one of the most significant factors in this process. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
