This work examines the influence of religion on politics in Latin America over the past three decades. It includes: a new intrepretation of Liberation Theology, the arm of Catholicism which encourages the empowerment of oppressed people; an examination of other religious movements in Latin America; and a review of the Marxist and Weberian perspectives of religion, throwing new light on the influence of Catholicism over capitalism.
