Abstract: In a contrary way to the classic thesis of secularization, religiosity did not falter. In fact, all that we have observed in contemporaneity could be defined as a case of religious reconfiguration of its own characteristics. Among the most diverse and significant changes in the Brazilian religious scene of the last few years, the deinstitutionalization, including the evangelical one, stands out. The unchurched evangelicals, a term used to describe those in this process, are embedded in a growing variable. This paper seeks to ponder about these new religious subjects, as well as to study the relationship between their growth linked to the own aspects of modernity radicalized in it reverberated. To do so, the research takes the Caminho da Graça community, led by Caio Fábio D’Araújo Filho, as the main field case.
