O conservadorismo religioso e sua influência na educação de populações de baixa escolaridade

Abstract

This text proposes a discussion about the expansion of neo-Pentecostal churches in Brazil and their influence on Education and population with low education, seeking to highlight aspects that are still present in Brazilian education today, such as the history of religious education; the growth of the population that declares itself to be evangelical from neo-Pentecostal currents; the influences of popular culture on religious practices and finally the discussion on the Theology of Prosperity from a political and pedagogical point of view. To carry out this intention, bibliographical research and literature review were used. It was verified how overwhelming is the influence of conservative and neo-Pentecostal thinking on Education and public with low education levels.
