Abstract The present article discusses the processes of political and social mobilization of the Afro-religious in the face of the religious racism and "christofascist" politics deployed by groups with an Evangelical-Pentecostal profile. Based on ethnographic research conducted since 2008 in Rio de Janeiro, Brasília, Aracaju and Maceió, the article analyzes how these mobilization strategies are constituted in a modality of "terreiro politics" as a means of "doing politics", delimiting public identities, and debating accusations of increased and growing symbolic and concrete violations of Afro-based religions. The article also discusses how the categories intolerance, racism and genocide are part of a civic grammar that seeks to charge the State - most particularly the police and the judiciary - and push it to guarantee of rights in face the face of growing religious extremism characterized by narratives and actions aimed at building political agendas fueled by religious dogmas ("christofascism"), which result in violent acts against afroreligious terreiros.

A organização deste dossiê foi motivada pelo interesse em analisar as especificidades que envolvem a expansão das religiões afro brasileiras em contextos sociopolíticos distintos, bem como os desafios teórico-metodológicos que surgem dessas pesquisas. Interessava-nos debater, a partir de pesquisas empíricas, como as formas de expressão afro-brasileiras são criativamente produzidas e transformadas e compreender suas consequências político-religiosas. Tal perspectiva é fundamental para uma controvérsia acerca de sua permanência e reprodução no cenário contemporâneo brasileiro de ataques e perseguições a essas tradições, bem como problematizar o debate sobre o que seriam essas novas misturas de religiões, com destaque para o papel dos atores religiosos e como suas crenças e comportamentos afetam os contextos sociais estudados.

In this article we analyze acts of violence inflicted by armed groups on members of Afro-Brazilian religions in the Metropolitan Area of Rio de Janeiro. Based on a media content survey, it was found that in less than 15 years these conflicts ceased to derive from proximity relations and evolved to confrontations over armed hegemony of popular spaces, controlled by drug traffickers and/or militia, who present themselves as members of Pentecostal churches. The criminal governance operated by "traficrentes" and "milicrentes" combines commercial, theological, and doctrinal imperatives with a political project of nation that directly impacts peoples' ways of life, especially the followers of Afro-Brazilian religions. ; In this article we analyze acts of violence inflicted by armed groups on members of Afro-Brazilian religions in the Metropolitan Area of Rio de Janeiro.
