Abstract
The author analyzes the relationship between belief in God and enchantment in the Peruvian and, in general, in the Latin-American context. Concepts elaborated in secularized regions by Congar, Kasper, Taylor, Vattimo, Casanova and Berger, among others, must be redefined to be applied in countries which enter nowadays simultaneously in modernity and post-modernity. The author studies the situation using data from various polls and from a recent qualitative investigation on lived religion (2015-2017). She concludes: God's existence is a "strong belief" for Limenians but the content of belief in God is "weak", and it changes easily according to circumstances.
