There are countless investigations produced since the 1990s, which focus on the changes identified in the Brazilian religious field and their repercussions in other spheres of social life. In this article, I return to the memorable anthropologist Pierre Sanchis' formulations on “urban popular culture” with the aim of comparatively reflecting on Pentecostal growth in the peripheries from the 2000s onwards. This growth revealed compositions between cultural references hitherto prevalent and new forms of aesthetic and grammatical appropriation with repercussions on sociability, on the economy and on local and supralocal politics. As an empirical basis of the analyzes proposed here, I count on interviews, data and observations produced during intermittent fieldwork carried out in Rio's favelas, with an emphasis on the Acari favela, in addition to data from a survey conducted at Universidade Federal Fluminense mapping religious temples in the city from Rio de Janeiro.
