Abstract
This essay addresses and analyzes the discourse and strategy of evangelical actors who have built their action and power in the public space from collec-tive protest action, political advocacy and interaction with other actors and spaces of civil society. The analysis emphasizes the implications and resig-nifications of the strategy of appropriation of public space by groups and networks linked to evangelical neo-progressivism. Our analysis contributes to the discussion about how religious capital contributes to the processes of collective action and social mobilization. It also allows us to recognize the other face of the evangelical in the public sphere, which contrasts with the discourse and practices of neo-fundamentalist religion and which is located on the frontier of protestant religious activism.
