Abstract After the implementation of the Republic in Portugal, in October 5th, 1910, secular actions of the government reached the activities of religious orders. With the decrees of the new political system, members of the Society of Jesus exiled themselves in several countries, especially in Spain, Italy, and Brazil. A choice for Brazilian cities was encouraged by the common language, cultural approaches, but mainly by the religious projects developed in the country. This article aims to understand the actions of the Dispersed Portuguese Province members in Brazil in the first half of the twentieth century, with an analysis on the relationships between their pedagogical projects, the organization of a cultural mission, and the Catholic Restoration process. From the Cultural History, we also seek to understand how the forms of education were an instrument of cultural mediation on encouraging new ideas and worships by the Jesuits.

This file of respondents in Brazil is part of a multi-country survey. The survey was commissioned by the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life to investigate the religious, political, and civic views of renewalists (i.e., Pentecostals and Charismatics) around the world. An "/data-archive?fid=PENTEC" Target="_blank">aggregate file of all ten nations of this multi-country survey is available at the ARDA. The project includes surveys in ten countries with sizeable renewalist populations: the United States; Brazil, Chile and Guatemala in Latin America; Kenya, Nigeria and South Africa in Africa; and India, the Philippines and South Korea in Asia. In each country, surveys were conducted among a random sample of the general public, with an oversample of renewalists, to yield sufficient sample sizes for analysis. Surveys in Brazil were conducted by the research firm, Research International Brazil, under the direction of Princeton Survey Research Associates International. The codebook reflects the results of the general public sample.

Replication code for the figures in the book Religion and Brazilian Democracy: Mobilizing the People of God (by Amy Erica Smith, 2019, Cambridge University Press)

Brazilians in the United States voted overwhelmingly for right-wing populist Jair Bolsonaro in 2022. What effect did religion, an important part of many migrants' day-to-day lives, have on their voting behavior? Based on exit polling of Brazilian expatriate voters, focus groups, and observation of local Brazilian churches, this paper explores how conservative Christianity drives support for right-wing populism among Brazilian migrants to the Boston area, who stand out for their bolsonarista tendencies. Christians, and especially evangelicals, are significantly more likely than other Brazilian migrants to vote for Bolsonaro, and the priests and pastors of Brazilian migrant churches are particularly willing to discuss parties and candidates. Yet neither clergy endorsements nor explicit conversation about politics at church explains this religious effect. I argue that indirect influence within congregations, which reinforces a conservative worldview in ways that are not overtly political, helps explain why observant evangelicals tend to favor Bolsonaro.

In 2022, 34 percent of young people aged between 16 and 24 residing in Rio de Janeiro claimed to have no religion. Additionally, 32 percent identified themselves as Evangelical and a further 17 percent said that they were Catholic. The non-religious affiliation between young people in Rio de Janeiro diverges significantly from the overall religious affiliation reported in Brazil in 2020.

This survey was administered online via Qualtrics from September 18, 2012 to October 11, 2012. Respondents were recruited via advertisements on Facebook, targeted to residents of Brazil ages 18 or older. The purpose of the survey was to investigate a) why Brazilians vote for clergy candidates for city council, b) what effect clergy voting recommendations have on decisions to support other candidates, and c) how Brazilians classify candidates in terms of race and social class. The survey contains experiments designed to test points a) and b), and it examines point c) by asking respondents to rate candidate photos.

Abstract Brazil has witnessed, in recent decades, radical transformations in its religious composition, with a great proliferation of evangelical churches, which compete with each other, adopting active and mobilizing positions, typical of productive enterprises. This paper analyzes some dimensions of this reality, in light of proposals from the Rational Choice of Religion approach, which is still little explored in Brazil. Thus, it makes clear to administration scholars, still absent from the area, the importance and scale of the observed phenomenon, and also the relevance of the new theoretical framework.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the dimensions of health-related quality of life in older adults and its relationship with organizational religious affiliation (ORA), non-organizational religious affiliation (NORA) and intrinsic religiosity (IR). METHOD: Cross-sectional study with quantitative approach, with a random sample of 82 elderly enrolled in the Family Health Strategy in Capoeiruçu, Cachoeira-BA, Brazil. RESULTS: The female dominated with 61.4%. The mean age was (71 ± 9.39). In the eight dimensions of quality of life, the score ranged from 64.3 to 77.3. ORA was 74.4%; NORA was 89.1. For questions about IR: feel the presence of God, act according to their beliefs and if they strive to live the religion in all aspects of life, percentages of 95%, 90.2% and 84.2% were respectively found. Using the chi-square test, it was found that the dimension "limitations due to emotional problems" received the greatest influence of ORA (X2= 11.539; p= 0.001; Cramer's V= 0.372), NORA (X2= 7.949; p= 0.005; Cramer's V= 0.309) and IR (X2= 5.126; p= 0.05; Cramer's V= 0.249). It was also found a positive influence on the limitations due to physical, bodily pain, general health, mental and social health. No association was found between religiosity and "functional capacity" and "vitality" dimensions. CONCLUSIONS: It is inferred that there is a positive association between religiosity in its three dimensions (ORA, NORA and IR) and health-related quality of life for the elderly.
