Abstract
Abstract:This essay explores an evangelical pastor's campaign against the city of Salvador's plans to name a public park after an orixá. The pastor claims that his opposition is based on the notion that Brazil, as a secular state, should not provide public funds or recognition of Afro-Brazilian religions. However, this essay argues that state-sponsored Christian parks and monuments have not faced similar opposition.
