Abstract

The study of religion comprises a diversity of paths. With a focus on the social strength present in Christianity and the multiplicity of its agents, this research considers how they are capable of carrying out spatial and temporal transformations considering their practices in society and experiences, in addition to the present research emphasizes the character progressive religion. This dissertation aims to analyze the spatial experiences formed by religion, in the public space, by progressive movements, being the Front of Evangelicals for the Rule of Law (FEED) and the Pastoral of Youth (PJ). Methodologically, it incorporates a phenomenological posture that influences the use of concepts, it also seeks to approach an ethnographic posture combined with the use of participatory fieldwork. In this way, it is believed that the spatial experience of the movements is linked to: a) its progressive theological / political positioning b) its relationship of belonging to the group; c) the appropriation of public space through the body.
