Abstract

This dissertation examines the conversion and religious transit of worshipers of Candomblé and the Nossa Senhora da Boa Morte Brotherhood to protestant denominations in Cachoeira -Ba, between 1980 and 2007. We investigated the prevalence of women in conversions by analyzing the main reasons why they decided to seek another religious affiliation, as well as the reasons for men's adherence to Protestant groups. We recognized that women's motivations were related to marital and/or family issues, while for men they referred to personal matters.
