SUMMARY:

This qualifying text presents the preliminary findings of ongoing bibliographic research investigating the alleged threats to education stemming from the pragmatic reverberation of Dominion Theology, a vibrant and highly influential movement within a significant portion of the evangelical religion, involving political actors, primarily among Pentecostals and Neo-Pentecostals, operating to build a totalitarian fundamentalist hegemony under the guise of Christianity, acting as an auxiliary line of economic neoliberalism and the far right. As initial results of this investigation, we will present the mapping of the strategic action plan used by Dominion Theology, called by its creators the "Mandate of the 7 Mountains," aiming to reach seven areas of influence in society: 1. Education; 2. Religion; 3. Family; 4. Government; 5. Media; 6. Arts/Entertainment and 7. Business – which would be the mountains to be conquered to create consensus of thought and its dogmatic values in society, paving the way for a theocratic government. The focus of the research, obviously, was the mountain/area of education. For this analytical challenge, we stand on the shoulders of two giants who, in our understanding, provide us with the appropriate theoretical frameworks for a critical analysis of the theology of domination and its project of totalizing education: Antonio Gramsci and Paulo Freire. In Gramsci, we will find the elements that will give us the basis to identify the hegemonic project behind the strategy of the Seven Mountains, which will be referred to throughout the text as 7M. In Freire, we will critically analyze the education model proposed by the Theology of Domination, which we will call the Pedagogy of Domination.
