A ascenção de religiosos professos na política e a influência nos assuntos religiosos, direitos humanos e educação

Abstract

This article made an analysis of the last decade (2010-2020), after the re-democratization of Brazil in relation to the rise of a considerable number of professed religious in Brazilian politics. . This increase in religious practitioners in politics influenced policies that refer to family, education, gender, religious freedom and others of an ethical nature. This upward religious phenomenon was delimited for study in the last 10 years, aimed mainly at evangelical parliamentarians for being more organized in an Evangelical Parliamentary Front.(EPF), although there is another major parliamentary front in Congress, the Mixed Catholic Parliamentary, however EPF is older and therefore more influential. The study was based on bibliographic sources of books, magazines and digital newspapers, articles published in digital journals, official websites of the Brazilian Congress and reports related to the theme. So I tried to understand the real purpose of this bench in the Brazilian Congress and to see how the combination of politics and religion affect democracy positively or negatively without being antagonistic to the principles of the Laic State. In view of what was mentioned, we conclude that the strength of this bench has the power to pressure the executive to enact laws voted in Congress that favor churches, philanthropic and religious enterprises specifically of a Christian nature in exchange for political support to the government in the votes in The National Congress.
