Description:The goal of this article is to describe the relationship that evangelicals have built with politicians and the politics of Chile in the last 20 years. As the methodological approach, we focus on a strategy of case study. We perform a systematization and analysis of secondary sources (journalistic notes of secular and denominational media, web sites, specialized bibliography, and personal files). The main results of the article are: a re-politicization of the evangelical world from 1999; permanent political conflicts between metropolitan evangelical leaders which are generalized to the whole national evangelical spectrum; politicization of the myth of the freedom of conscience and the politicization foundational myth “Chile for Christ”.
