This article aims to explain the evangelical vote in the 2022 presidential elections for Jair Bolsonaro, a populist and radical right-wing politician, hypothesizing the adherence of part of this segment to the right by exploring behavioral variables. We conclude by proposing a new exploratory analytical approach: Dominion Theology. Our paper makes use of several surveys, such as the Pesquisa Termômetro da Campanha (IPESPE/ABRAPEL), in order to examine the behavior and voting decision of evangelical through the logit type estimation model, with the vote for Bolsonaro as the dependent and the main variable the evangelical identity (binary, as opposed to all other religions). The result indicates that the extreme right mobilized evangelicals not only electorally, but ideologically, through political proposals and a moral-theological discourse.
