Abstract (English): This article explores “religious racism,” or discrimination against devotees of African-derived religions in Brazil, as a broader pattern of structural racism rooted in racialized religious alterity, Afrophobia, and the epistemic divide between religion and nonreligion. The term religious racism has been proposed by some devotees and anti-racist activists to emphasize that Afro-Brazilian religions are uniquely targeted in ways other non-Christian religions are not. Unlike religious intolerance, the term religious racism explicitly connects discrimination against Afro-Brazilian religions to colonization, color or racial hierarchy, and anti-Black prejudice. This article clarifies the ideological groundings of religious racism that encourage Neo-Pentecostal extremists to pursue “order and progress,” as the national motto suggests, through physical violence.

Abstract (Spanish): Este artigo procura explorar o “racismo religioso”, ou discriminação contra os povos de santo das religiões de matrizes Africana, como um padrão mais amplo de racismo estrutural enraizado na alteridade religiosa racializada, na afrofobia e na divisão epistêmica ente religião/não-religião. O termo racismo religioso foi proposto por algumas pessoas que cultuam orixás e ativistas antirracismo, para enfatizar que as religiões afro-brasileiras são os maiores alvos de ataques e de uma forma que outras religiões não são. Ao contrário da intolerância religiosa, o racismo religioso liga explicitamente a discriminação contra as religiões afro-brasileiras à colonização, à hierarquia de cor ou raça e ao preconceito contra negros. Este artigo pretende esclarecer os fundamentos ideológicos do racismo religioso que encoraja os extremistas Neo-Pentecostais a perseguir a “ordem e o progresso”, como sugere o lema nacional, através da violência física.
