specifically the Igreja Universal do Reino de Deus. The delimitacional cut falls within
the Protestant religious reality of Brazil, It aims to search bibliographically the
phenomenon of Brazilian neo-Pentecostal growth and social circumstances in which
it occurs. We seek to understand the process of expansion and acceptance of their
proposals to the population by the population. As a result, the research expected to
raise positive points or perceptions that may be indicators which are contributing to
the churches considered historical. The study was accomplished based on a
