Abstract
This article discusses the presence of Christian hegemony in the Brazilian social formation through the relationship between State and Churches, at first the Catholic Church imbued with a civilizing process, but in another context the evangelical churches also approached the state power interested in defining spaces of political, social and cultural action in the form of consolidating its vision of the world. In this sense, Christianity introduced into our society by Catholicism initiated mechanisms of cultural power, in addition to creating space for the implementation of social and moral values, but was followed by other Christian denominations in the pentocostal dress, but clearly neopentecostal, that helped in the structuring of hegemonic conceptions regarding a single religious vision, the Christian one. However, despite the divergences in the Christian milieu, we do not notice a clear differentiation between Catholics and Evangelicals, conservatives, when it comes to Afro-Brazilian cultural suppression or a project of hegemonic Christianity.
