Descrição: Antipetismo explains the choice in elections of at least 40 percent of Brazilian voters for whom the idea of supporting the Worker's Party (PT) is unacceptable. Antipetistas typically are white, well educated, and against corruption. This article argues that Pentecostal voters, mostly nonwhite and low income, form a solid anti-PT base, as they associate PT with a range of "identity" or "antifamily" policies. We test this argument using data from the Latin American Public Opinion Project that distinguish religious affiliation to analyze voting behavior in elections between 2002 and 2018. The results show that Pentecostals are less likely to vote for PT candidates in presidential elections, express sympathy with PT, or support PT in elections, even when benefiting from Bolsa Familia, the PT's antipoverty cash-transfer program.
