Afro Brazilian religious groups are under attack

As evangelicals grow in number and political influence in Brazil, members of other religious traditions are feeling uneasy. Some have even been attacked. Evangelical activists have targeted many Afro Brazilian religious centers and destroyed icons, and have even attacked clergy members. Many say the problem has become worse in recent years, spurred by President Jair Bolsonaro’s government and the growth of evangelical churches across the country. The Secretariat for Religious Tolerance is investigating cases of religious intolerance in the state of Rio de Janeiro — one of the areas with the highest numbers of attacks on Afro Brazilian churches. Reporter Michael Fox has the story.
