Abstract A post-calibrated survey was conducted, with a sample of 900 questionnaires, during the first semester of 2021, in the three major Brazilian capitals of the southeast region: São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, and Belo Horizonte. The data was modeled with a logistic regression, in which the response variable was the fact of having or not having income from work, whether formal or informal, in the reference week. It was found that Pentecostal affiliation entails a double mitigation, since it increases the possibilities of obtaining earnings, both for Black and Brown people (Afro-Brazilians) as well as for women. It was found that the effect of evangelism on race operates on the demand side, since the employer would find in Black and Brown people a religious credential that makes them more trustworthy. In the case of women, there would be an effect on the labor supply side, since dignified women would be sensitive to monetary gains.
