مستخلص: Politics and religion are usually considered to be strongly interlinked in Latin America. Despite the fact that discourses about religion, Christianity, and God are assumed to play an important role in political competition, we are still confronted with a gap of systematic comparative large N analyses. This work attempts to map the religious discourses of 87 parties and presidential candidates in 15 Latin American countries based on quantitative content analyses of 14,379 posts on Facebook. We found that religious references serve to emphasise one's own closeness to God and Christianity, to promote traditional morality, and to portray competitors as immoral and corrupt. Religious discourses mainly occur in Central America and Brazil, where evangelical groups are on the rise and where societies are particularly religious. The evangelical rise may therefore have a substantial impact on society and political campaigning. Religious discourses in society without relevant evangelical groups can be explained by strongly conservative parties and an extremely religious population. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract (English): In Northeast Brazil, the question of whether motherhood predisposes a woman to love her children, and whether children can be socialized effectively even in the absence of love, is a source of debate. I explore how motherhood references different configurations of the essential nature of things by charting how concepts of mother love map onto the Christian concept of agape. The analogical link between mother love and agape, I argue, offers people a set of conceptual tools for reflecting on a range of problems emerging from contrasting ontologies implicit within local forms of Christianity. Problems include the nature of the human-divine relation, the concept of primal animation, and the profound imbalance of power that a creature-Creator relationship entails. Debates about motherhood can thus be understood in terms of 'ontopraxis,' whereby social agents situate themselves in relation to shared ontological categories and negotiate ambiguous and even contradictory cosmological schemes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract (Portuguese): Do Nordeste rural do Brasil, a questão se a maternidade predispõe uma mulher para amar seus filhos e, se as crianças podem ser socializados de forma eficaz, mesmo na ausência de amor, é uma fonte de incerteza e debate. Neste artigo, exploro como a maternidade referencia diferentes configurações da natureza essencial das coisas, traçando como o amor de mãe, para a população local, se aproxima do conceito cristão de amor ágape. A ligação analógica entre amor de mãe e amor ágape, em minha opinião, oferece às pessoas um conjunto de ferramentas conceituais para refletir sobre uma série de problemas que emergem no contraste entre ontologias implícitas nas formas locais do cristianismo. Tais problemas incluem a natureza da relação humano-divino, o conceito de animação primal, e o profundo desequilíbrio de poder que um relacionamento criatura-criador implica. Debates sobre a maternidade, em minha opinião, falam para além das mães. Eles também podem ser entendidas em termos de 'ontopraxis,' pelo qual os agentes sociais situam-se em relação a categorias ontológicas compartilhadas, e negociam, ambíguos e, às vezes, até mesmo contraditórios, esquemas cosmológicos.
