In recent years, the religious phenomenon has returned to the public sphere in Uruguay, despite the Jacobin-inspired process of separation between religion and Modern State that took place from the end of the 19th century and had its peak in the first decades of the 20th century. The least religious society in Latin America (which has similar rates to some European countries), and which has undergone a radical process of secularization that has shifted religion mostly to the sphere of private life, is changing. Or at least, it is undergoing a review of what is considered to be its distinctive character: the secularity of its people and its state institutions. Defending a greater religious incidence in the public sphere and in institutional politics, evangelical leaders linked to various religious organizations say that it is necessary to stand up for values that are not being represented by current legislators or by the national State. Animated to participate in parliamentary policy in reaction to the so-called rights agenda - that is, the regulation of abortion, marijuana use, as well as same-sex marriage - part of the Uruguayan evangelical leadership made a substantial paradigm shift in deciding to influence politics from its Christian worldview and by abandoning the secular perspective that restricted religious activity to the private sphere. As in other parts, the discourse of these religious actors defends the return to privacy of themes that today, including in Uruguay, are understood as rights and debated based on secular morality. It is noteworthy that the development of this process occurred in a country that carried out, early and radically, the transference to the State and the universalization of functions previously concerning families and religious groups. This thesis, the result of empirical research carried out in Uruguay between November 2018 and April 2019, presents the perceptions of this new evangelical leadership regarding the relations between religion, morality, and the State and proposes a reflection on the dilemmas that its political practice raises in that which is considered the most stable democracy in Latin America. Based on the analysis of this particular case (marked by the modern rationalization of the space of politics and social assistance), this work seeks to reflect on the contemporary demand for extending the modern political experience and the consequent revision of the concept of secularity. These changes, which are central to the establishment of a social coexistence pact, concern all democracies, especially Latin American ones marked by the religious phenomenon.
