O discurso de um grupo evangélico acerca das Religiões afro-indígena-brasileiras

Abstract

This research had as its main aim to analyze the discourse of male and female members of a protestant, Pentecostal Church about different religions, focusing particularly afro-indians-brazilians religions. We pretend to observe the existent sex´s differences in the analyzed discourses. Looking forward to attain these objectives we interviewed our subjects assessing their socio-demographic data and asking an open question What do you think about afro-indians-brazilians religions (Candomblé, Umbanda, Jurema, etc.)? The participants were 46 years old, as a mean. Most of them have full secondary education, were black or Brown and were married. The results demonstrate: that the afro-indians-brazilians religions were the most rejected; that the women manifested more differences between religions, tending to demonize afro-indians-brazilians religions or present over religious differences and that the high number of conceptual mistakes show that the participants are afraid of what they don t know.
