Définition

  • Despite the overwhelming Catholic majorities in most countries in South America, the populations across the continent maintain adherence to a variety of alternative religious traditions, including Amerindian, African, Spiritualist, and folk traditions. Brazil, for instance, besides being the world's largest Catholic country, is the world's most Kardecist country (it has the most followers of spiritual doctrines promulgated in the 19th century by Allan Kardec).
