The current work seeks to understand the reciprocal influences between religion and social class, notably in the relationship between Pentecostalism and the peripheries of São Paulo. Using the interviews from the Perceptions and Political Values survey on the outskirts of São Paulo by the Perseu Abramo Foundation (2017), we analyze how Pentecostal have affinities of meaning with the social reality experienced and perceived in São Paulo's peripheries. In our research, these affinities came in two forms. On the one hand, when considering religion as a class experience: when our research looked at how Pentecostals express the experiences and perceptions of popular classes in São Paulo, showing how religious discourse and practice seek to respond to the imperatives of material life. On the other hand, it seeks to observe the class condition justified by religion: bearing in mind that religiosity not only seeks to adapt its beliefs and rites to a given economic situation, but also creates, from itself, moral stimuli and shared justifications seeking to attribute meaning to a given life condition, our research found how the Pentecostal experience ends up developing a rationality that, in addition to its religious effects, ends up producing an economic ethics for the other spheres of daily life.
