Abstract

From March to July 2010, I conducted fieldwork in National Congress with the Frente Parlamentar Evangélica when I attended evangelical cults, public hearings, regular meetings in the committees and in the Plenary and events organized by evangelicals. Among the many events that I witnessed, I chose to analyze the Seminar "The Family , the Church and the Programa Nacional de Direitos Humanos/PNDH-3", held in March of 2010 , which aimed to promote "christian unity" to fight against "lewd content of the National Program of Human Rights to brazilian family" in view of the imminence of majoritarian elections . In that event, the evangelicals mobilized the "prophetic voice of the people of God" because, as representatives of the moral majority, they should oppose the idea of human rights advocated by minorities would favor relativistic values at odds with the values of the religious culture of the christian society brazilian.
