The methodology uses quantitative data from IBGE and intends to analyze these data to exceed a superficial reading and advance on the depth of the complex religious field which is directly related to the arrival of Petrobras in town. On this sense, the urban development which took place due to multinational Petrobras impact, in Macae region, causing the creation of different markets, investment opportunities, making religious organizations remodel on a new setting in Macae’s religious field.
