Brazil is a country of enormous cultural and social diversity, and this also applies to its religious configuration. However, many religions and religious movements are grounded in closed and intolerant discourses. This is not the case with Umbanda. This paper aims to indicate how Umbanda is configured and carries out its religious activity through a dynamic that brings together interreligious dialogue, the welcoming of difference, and encounters among diverse spiritualities. A religion that emerged in Brazil from the spiritual traditions of people enslaved from Africa, Umbanda developed as a movement of resistance and survival in the face of the religion imposed by enslavers. Over time, it has proven capable of synthesizing different traditions: those of Europeans through Christianity; those of Africans through the worship of the Orixás; and those of Brazil's traditional peoples through Jurema and shamanic healing practices (pajelança). Nevertheless, Umbanda continues to be the target of persecution and intolerance, particularly from Christian fundamentalist groups. As a theoretical foundation, this study engages with Claude Lévi-Strauss's concept of the bricoleur, as well as Fernando Ferreira Rocha's proposal of a hermeneutical mediation, applied to the Umbanda in relation to the different references that shape it. These concepts demonstrate that, even if unintentionally, Umbanda carried out a process of hermeneutical bricolage, for instance, by associating Jesus with Oxalá, both understood as possessing creative and salvific power. At the same time, Umbanda becomes a space of reconciliation, social justice, and freedom for a people once exploited and enslaved, as well as a space for dialogue and the acceptance of difference.
