"When televangelist Silas Malafaia gathered 40,000 followers outside Brazil's Congress this week, it wasn't just to raise their arms to the sky and praise the Lord.

The rally was a show of support for lawmakers who oppose abortion and same-sex marriage and a message to other politicians that they should not ignore Brazil's fast-growing evangelical churches if they want to stay in office.

"Gay activism is moral garbage," Malafaia roared into the microphone to a cheering crowd on the grassy esplanade of the Brazilian capital. "Satan will not destroy our family values.""

5. Most evangelicals in Latin America

are more like black evangelicals and they tend to be social democrats. Many of these churches embrace liberation theology. This article is alarmist. Not all evangelicals are the same. Hugo Chavez considered himself evangelical.
