Este artículo propone que el crecimiento de la religión «pentecostalizada» en Guatemala tiene múltiples y complejos efectos políticos. La práctica de la religión pentecostalizada se extiende a través de varios grupos religiosos, sin embargo, esto no quiere decir que los distintos grupos religiosos conservadores en Guatemala sigan una sola trayectoria política. De hecho, las prácticas y creencias pentecostalizadas que comparten los evangélicos y los católicos carismáticos pueden significativamente motivar distintas agendas políticas. Aunque es menos común que los evangélicos y católicos carismáticos participen en actividades que desafíen las autoridades políticas, ambos participan políticamente, principalmente enfocándose en un ethos de «autoayuda », voluntarismo y votando. Estos resultados sugieren que las aserciones que conectan el crecimiento del protestantismo con la democracia o con el autoritarismo deben ser rechazadas, y en su lugar se debe adoptar un acercamiento más sutil que considere las conexiones específicas entre las creencias religiosas, las variables políticas y el contexto político.ABSTRACT: This article argues that the political effects of the growth of «pentecostalized» religion in Guatemala are multiple and complex. Although the practice of pentecostalized religion is widespread across religious groups, it does not appear as though this will lead to a single political trajectory among conservative religious groups in Guatemala. Rather, the same pentecostalized religious beliefs and practices shared by Evangelicals and charismatic Catholics can serve as powerful motivations for divergent political agendas. Though less likely to engage in political activity that challenges political authorities, Evangelicals and charismatic Catholics do participate politically; focusing on an ethos of self-help, volunteerism, and voting. These findings suggest that broad claims linking the growth of Evangelical Protestantism to either democracy or authoritarianism should be rejected in favor of a more nuanced approach that accounts for the specific links between religious beliefs, political variables, and political context
