RESUMO

This research is structured to analyse the reports of religious change produced by the members of the Nazarene Church in Ricardo de Albuquerque. How individuals articulate their experiences, their reasons and explanations, were addressed to describe what the religious change causes to the new members identity. It was found that most of the transit concentrated among evangelical churches, though most have been brought up as catholics. It is noticeable, on the one hand, that the choices of members reacts to the disenchantment, the secularization of the main religions, toward a re-enchantment of the world, in a society that contributes increasingly less with steady elements for the construction of their identities. On the other hand, the transit within the evangelical segment highlights subjective processes of construction of a broad evangelical identity by the bricolage of alien elements in relation to the Nazarene¿s theology. This exemplifies the concept of deregulation of religion, the increasing difficulty that the churches face in the ongoing process of defining their own outlines, concepts, practices and limits.
