Abstract
Brazilian folk religion is the result of a process of de-axialization of Catholicism, in which some ritual features are preserved while the basic axial perspective and salvationist message of religion are lost. A crisis at the structural level generated, between 1890-1920, a perception of chaos among the population of the backlands, sparking millennial movements inspired by the messianic (axial) tradition of Portuguese origin, relegated up to that moment to a peripheral role. Brazilian Millennialism was thus an attempt to re-introduce order in a chaotic world through a process of re-axialization.
