Religião, política e conservadorismo:

Abstract

The present dissertation aims to analyze the political culture of conservative bias present in the political and religious relations of the Assembly of God, Seta, in Araguaína-TO. In order to do so, we used as sources the oral reports of the pastors and leaders of the aforementioned Church, which were produced through semi-structured questionnaires, based on the approach of Oral History by Alessandro Portelli (2010). Since this is an interdisciplinary approach (POMBO, 2020), we seek to articulate two theoretical-analytical dimensions: the discussion about territory from Rogério Haesbaert's perspective of multi- territoriality and symbolic territory; and Pierre Bourdieu's (1982; 2006; 2008) approach to power constructed from a symbolic economy that articulates the religious and political fields. From this investigation, we concluded that the customs guidelines, which, have been becoming an important currency in the symbolic economy of the religious and political fields, were mobilized by AG Seta, especially since the 2000s onwards, as an instrument of electoral power both within the scope of production and reproduction of the beliefs of their lay people, as well as the strengthening of their power within local politics, which culminates in the rise of leaders who use the religious agenda to reach positions within the legislature and executive.
