HISTORIOSOPHICAL AND GEOSOPHICAL ASPECTS OF RADICAL EXPANSION OF PROTESTANTISM IN LATIN AMERICA
Abstract
As a result of modern colonization, Christianity has reached all continents. Latin America has become a Catholic continent, while North America has been more religiously diverse. In the second half of the twentieth century, Protestantism quickly spread from the Tierra del Fuego to the Rio Grande, and the number of its followers is constantly growing. Among the Protestant denominations in modern Latin America dominate the most radical evangelical forms, especially pentecostalism. The current stereotype Latino – the Catholic is changing. Protestantism is the fastest growing kind of Christianity today. Religious criteria may be the basis for a new geopolitical regionalization of the world. There are four basic units: Disenchantment Disenchantment World, World of Islam, World of Dharma and Global South.
