Geopolítica das igrejas e anarquia religiosa no Brasil. Por uma geoética de apoio mútuo

This thesis aims at analyzing, on the one hand, the relationship between geopolitics and churches and, on the other, the relationships between the Greek term anarchy and the increase of the number of believers without a religion in Brazil.The word church is employed here as a broad and general term (church, temple, spiritist centers, etc.), i.e., any institution representing a structure of religious power.This investigation mainly identifies the geopolitics of the Catholic church and Protestant churches, the power-related rivalries, and the political influences across the Brazilian territory that took place in many ways, strategies and church action, such as during the 2010 elections of federal representatives, and even for president, including disputes that used the media -especially the television, the radio and virtual space.It is also a cultural-historical process of religious anarchy, which, on the one hand, occurs with the increase of the contingent number of the religious population without religion and, on the other, with the existence of non-practicing -both in the Catholic and in the Protestantreligious populations, besides the disobedience to norms, doctrines and religious authorities.This phenomenon is spread throughout the Brazilian territory, encompassing people of all intellectual ranks, age groups and social classes.How can one understand this complex metamorphosis of religious loci and churches in Brazil?This is the main challenge in this thesis, whose analysis is based on a pluralist critical geography that dialogues with the thought of anarchist geographers, postmodern critics and the theory of complexity, resulting in the proposal of a reflection about geoethics
