The article aimed to analyze the relations of imbrications and permeability between politics and religion, based on the last two compositions of legislature during Military Regime. It was analyzed records and pronouncements of city council representatives, bills, tributes and notes issued to agents of the religious field. It was found that several religious institutions were subsidized by the municipal legislative, by granting of financial resources, land donation, declaration of public utility, among others. Based on sources and theoretical discussions we conclude that the religious is not only restricted to the private sphere as well as symbolic articulations are constitutive of social relations.
