It will be showed through a big data about multirreligiosity in Latin American that the classical sociological theories of religion are not anymore useful to analyze the religious diversity today. The theories of secularization as well are not anymore pertinent to analyze the “homo credus” process. That is why it will be analyze the root of collective beliefs not only in different traditions monotheistic and polytheistic, but also in the all systems of beliefs. Finally will show that the theories of religion even the latest one, are involved in power theories of religion.
