Resumo: The political sphere is currently going through a time of public religious expression, phenomenon that has attracted the attention of several researchers, particularly regarding to the impacts of the religion on the electoral behavior of individuals. However, despite its pertinence, voting is not the only way of political participation in the democratic system. From that, this study aimed to contribute to the identification of the influence of religious institutions on Brazilian politics, checking to what extent the main Brazilian religions are related to political participation, not only regarding the electoral forms, but also extending the unconventional or protest forms. The empirical data used in the study was produced by the Public Opinion Project of Latin America (LAPOP) of 2012. The results indicate that religious activism has a positive effect on civic engagement in Brazil.

É preciso reconhecer, entretanto, que o voto não é a única forma de participação política dentro do sistema democrático. Diante disto, este artigo buscou contribuir para a identificação da influência das instituições religiosas na política brasileira, verificando em que medida as principais religiões brasileiras estão relacionadas com a participação política, não apenas no que se refere às formas eleitorais, mas estendendo-se também às formas não convencionais ou de protesto. O material empírico utilizado na pesquisa foi produzido pelo Projeto de Opinião Pública da América Latina (LAPOP) de 2012. Os resultados encontrados indicam que o ativismo religioso exerce efeito positivo sobre o engajamento cívico do brasileiro.UFRGS2017-04-18info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionQuantitative ResearchPesquisa Quantitativaapplication/pdfhttps://seer.ufrgs.br/index.php/debates/article/view/5901810.22456/1982-5269.59018Revista Debates; Vol. 11 Núm. 1 (2017): Dossiê Política e Políticas Públicas; 137-158Revista Debates; v. 11 n. 1 (2017): Dossiê Política e Políticas Públicas; 137-1581982-52692236-479Xreponame:Revista Debatesinstname:Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS)instacron:UFRGSporhttps://seer.ufrgs.br/index.php/debates/article/view/59018/41073Ribeiro, Ednaldo AparecidoWalter, Alice Vila Nova Procopiukinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2017-08-29T14:02:57Zoai:seer.ufrgs.br:article/59018Revistahttps://seer.ufrgs.br/debatesPUBhttps://seer.ufrgs.br/debates/oai1982-52692236-479Xopendoar:2017-08-29T14:02:57Revista Debates - Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS)false
