Santo Daime; Rastafari; interreligious dialogue; fundamentalism; legitimacy
In the religious field, there is a tendency to sectarianism of great concern, when the transformations or variations of some practices can be viewed with prejudice and discrimination. Thus, the main issue discussed in this dissertation is the interreligious dialogue observed in Céu de Santa Maria de Sião, a group located in the municipality of Embu das Artes / SP. Its “hybrid” identity establishes a common language between two distinct religious movements, Santo Daime and Rastafari.
