This study analyses the studies on Popular Religiosity and Health conducted within the line of research entitled Education, Health and Citizenship, registered as a research group at National Council for Scientific and Technological Development (CNPq). The method adopted in this analysis makes use of elements of systematic review. Two studies were selected for the analysis due to their relevance for the field of Popular Religiosity, from the perspective of Popular Health Education. Both studies have concluded that, by means of religious affiliation, people cope with different aspects of life in violence-stricken unprivileged neighborhoods; they become more resistant to adversity and social inequality and, thus, feel that life is more meaningful and joyful.Downloads
