Rio de JaneiroBrazil

Rio de Janeiro shares São Paulo’s religious profile in broad strokes — Catholic plurality, very large Pentecostal minority, integrated Afro-Brazilian religious traditions — with the additional cultural texture of being one of the most religiously plural urban environments in Latin America. The Pentecostal exit is the most active deconstruction story; the Catholic exit is older and slower.

The rebuild is possible, even when it does not feel that way. Elder X works with people leaving every religious tradition, from cities all over the world.
