| Summary: | This work approaches briefly the relations between politics and religion in the context of the neopentecostal church Mission Life for the Nations, understanding that both are transversal dimensions of human experience. In this way, we can find them imbricated in religious doctrine, such as the Spiritual War, political activism developed in the so called "public sphere", but also on other aspects of human experience that are usually perceived as "private" from a liberal perspective, such as sexuality. Religious discourses about the world and humans destiny function as narratives that, being adopted by the faithful, are enacted in different spheres of action. In this way, religion cannot be conceived as a separated dimension of the social world. Not merely metaphysical or discursive, as it implies action—or inaction—it involves politics. |
