The religious use of Internet in Brazil

The intention of this paper is to share some remarks made over the past ten years regarding the use individuals, groups and institutions have made of Internet to publicize their beliefs and religious identity lines in Brazil. With this, we intend to contribute to the understanding of the somehow recent "Brazilian religious market", noting more carefully the impact of this new media on the process. Furthermore, it will seek to verify to what extent the notion of "religious market" proposed by authors such as Rodney Stark, William Sims Bainbridge, Laurence Iannaccone and Roger Finke, proves itself useful to the prospecting of analytical elements of interest for the understanding of the use individuals and groups make of Internet.
