Abstract

The 2000 municipal elections in Soure, Pará, were preceded by a serious political crisis, experienced with a wide use of symbolic resources, which made the october election have a “salvation” character. The elected mayor articulated the support of various religious and cultural leaders present in the city, giving a “purifying” tone to his candidacy and his victory. The following year, there was fierce competition between leaders of the city's main religiosities, catholics, pentecostals and shamans, who sought to optimize their participation in the “salvation” of the municipality. This competition allows for a reflection, based on a case, about the contemporary brazilian religious field.
