Abstract

Within the Brazilian religious context, the research presented below expresses a deepening of studies on the identity of young people with religious adherence to a (neo) Pentecostal church. To this end, apprehending the life paths of young people, based on field research, was relevant to understand the relationships between youth and their religious affiliations in modern times. From the theoretical and conceptual discussion and the data collected with intensive observation, establishing a connection between the concept of religious transit and youth, this work focuses specifically on an evangelical church, from the religious field of the city of Londrina-PR, which presents characteristics of the typifications Pentecostal and Neopentecostal. As a goal, life trajectories were analyzed, understanding the identity and religious singularities of the young people of the group 'Generation Fusion'.
