%X in the 1990s, when brazil was experiencing "trade opening", terms that were already dear to "neo-liberal" ideals such as "competitiveness", "entrepreneurship", and "success" slowly seeped into brazilian society£¿s imagination. meanwhile, there was a sharp rise in membership in the universal church of the kingdom of god, which defends the "theology of prosperity". in this article i examine information gathered through an ethnographic survey of worshippers at a uckg congregation in rio de janeiro in order to expand the understanding of the aspirations, dispositions, and experiences of these lower-income social actors who chose to embrace this religious faith in the 1990s.
