| Summary: | Each religious group has its temporality and features spatial regularities and, in similarity to what is happening elsewhere, the empirical findings show that urbanity, mobility and even cosmopolitanism do not correlate exclusively with secularization indicators but also with the plurality of religious (and non-religious) identities, beliefs and experiences. The study of the Portuguese Religious Identities (IRP) of 2011 and the census of that year indicate that the non-Catholic religious groups (particularly the Evangelical ones) almost doubled during the period of a decade. Who are these minorities, when and where was its implementation in Portuguese society, are questions that will have sought to be answered in this article. |
