| Summary: | The staggering growth of Pentecostalism within the impoverished classes has produced effects on the community functioning of popular organizations. Based on Cultural-Historical Psychology and Liberation Psychology, we aimed to investigate the senses assigned to the presence of the evangelical church by militants of a housing movement located in the city of São Paulo. The material used for the discussion consists of field diary records and interview reports. We observed in this context that the church, while promoting the development of bonds and support networks, contributes to the concealment of the social determinants of the reality experienced, replacing them with religious elements. The church also provides a parallel dimension of engagement and participation that, at times, competes with the direct participation in the struggle for rights.
