Abstract

Evangelical churches in Chile have historically been considered a peripheral religious category discriminated by the dominating catholic culture. Feeling themselves hated by society, Chilean evangelicals developed a "resistance identity", that is, hatred towards the existing norms and "exclusion of the people discriminating by the people discriminated against". However, during the last 20 years, new generations of evangelicals have challenged authorities and traditional relations of power inside their churches, creating new forms of civic participation and changing the "resistance identity" of their parents into a "project identity".
