- Abstract
The present work aimed to analyze the influence of religiosity on prejudice against homosexuals in people of different religious affiliations. The survey was conducted with 234 people from the city of Fortaleza, Ceará, with an average age of 34.3 years (SD = 11.86; 97 men and 136 women). Of this total, there were people affiliated with the Catholic, Protestant, Inclusive Protestant, Spiritist and religions from Africa. Participants answered a questionnaire that sought to assess prejudice against homosexuals and religiosity through different variables. It was verified blatant prejudice in Catholics and Protestants, subtle prejudice in Spiritists, and no prejudices were identified neither in inclusive Protestants nor in those of religions from Africa. Moreover, it was found that Protestant beliefs and practices predicted prejudice against homosexuals. The discussions of the findings contribute to the scientific panorama, but, beyond, proposing a multidimensional analysis of religiosity, including religions little contemplated in the studies on the subject.
