Graph showing the change in religious composition in Latin America over time. As of 2014, the percentage of Catholics has declined from 94% in 1910 to 69% and the percentage of Evangelicals has increased from 1% to 19%.
Pentecostal Evangelicals play a prominent role in Latin American politics, often supporting far-right candidates and promoting pastors to run for elections. This column presents evidence from Brazil showing that Pentecostal expansion, driven by the activities of the Summer Institute of Linguistics – a 20th century US evangelical organisation focused on Bible translation – increased electoral support for evangelical and far-right candidates. The findings underscore the significant role of religious actors in amplifying political movements.
Daniela Solá shows that Pentecostal expansion in #Brazil driven by the Summer Institute of Linguistics - a 20th century US evangelical organisation focused on Bible translations - increased electoral support for evangelical and #far-right candidates.
