Abstract
Latin America has shown regular mismatches between its institutional secularized framework and the ancestral world-views that determine new religious proposals in the subcontinent. We could argue that there is a coexistence of multiple historical realities in the religious culture of Latin America, which constitute the perfect frame for a mismatch between the technical-scientific institutional modernization, the limited sketches of cultural modernism and the historical religious traditions of the region. This shows that secularization at any cost, promoted by middleclass sectors inspired by the enlightenment, does not automatically mean pluralization of spiritual attitudes in the culture, as it is evident in the raise of novel religious fundamentalist movements.
