The search for Brazilians religious identity upon Darcy Ribeiros view embodies the challenge in which we engage in this work. It is about the awareness of the meaning of being human in the world time and space from the perspective of religion and obscurantism in Darcys narratives. Even though such an investigation may be carried out through sciences multiple paths, we decided to take the one of Sciences of Religion. Based on Darcys writings, we provide new pieces of information in the religious scope, as it happened and still does in Brazil. Notwithstanding his public position as an atheist, the anthropologist provides us with some new intuitions that broaden our views in the domain of Science of Religion. Having not found a framework about religious language in Darcys thought, we established a rapprochement with Paul Ricoeurs hermeneutics philosophy. The notion of narrative identity in Ricoeur was the fundamental methodological element which helped us out with the hermeneutics articulation of intuitions in the religious element in Darcy. Such narrative identity finds in the work of memory and symbol polysemy other ways of interlocution and enrichment of the discussion. Such heuristic articulation, born from our intuition, will enable us to reveal Brazilians religious identity from the hermeneutic aspect. Our task is underlain by Darcys confessions, in the religious historical scenario permeated by the crossings among the various matrixes and the particularly complex present environment in Brazil. For us, Darcy Ribeiros coherent work accounts for the expansion of studies in Science of Religion and suggests Brazilians religious identity as a work in progress. Darcy Ribeiro departs from anthropology but does not limit himself to sheer structuralism; rather, he develops a certain dialectical anthropology in interlocution with philosophy. This study aims to pinpoint Brazilians religious identity in spite of the blindness in the religious weaving marked by radicalism, fundamentalism and conservadorism. To enhance such an identity, we tackled into two metaphors: sixth-spear and bricolage, both aligned with Darcys view. His unusual interpretation and search for Brazilians identity was only possible through Paul Ric urs hermeneutic lenses. Underlain by Paul Ric urs notion of religious identity, we were faced with the foundations which helped us analyze such identity in its limitations and possibilities, matches and dismatches, building process and lack of closure.
