This article aims to analyze political statements in ex-president Jair Bolsonaro’s dis- course that conflict with the concept of a secular State. From the campaign slogan to the reproduction of a bible verse, the ex-president tends to direct his discourse, of a religious nature, to a conservative and Christian audience, which contributed significantly to his victory in the 2018 elections. This discourse aims to please this part of society, in order to maintain a political base as president and, in 2022, as a candidate for re-election. This analysis is based on theoretical formulations of Dis- course Analysis, exploring the relations between the studies of Pêcheux (ideological formations), Foucault (power relations) and Orlandi, demonstrating the relations between language, subject and historicity present in the discourse. In this way, the ex-president’s discursive intentions to maintain a portion of the electorate can be seen.
