that 22.2% were Protestant. Until the late 1970s, the majority of Brazilian Protestants belonged to one of the traditional churches: Lutherans, Presbyterians and Baptists mainly, but the Pentecostals, especially from neo-charismatic churches linked to the prosperity doctrine, have increased largely since then. There is also Seventh-day Adventist educational system with over 475 elementary schools, 67 secondary schools, two colleges and a university. The rich and the poor remained traditional Catholics, while most Evangelical Protestants were in the new lower-middle class, known as the "C class" (in a A–E classification system). Politics In the Brazilian National Congress, there is Evangelical Caucus, a loosely organized group of Protestant, Evangelical, and Pentecostal lawmakers in the Brazilian government and legislature. If considered a political party, the Evangelical Caucus would be the third largest in the Brazilian government, surpassed only by the Brazilian Democratic Movement and the Workers' Party. It is reported that 70% of evangelical Protestants voted for President Jair Bolsonaro in 2018 Brazilian general election.
