The Post-modern society, organized and structuralized under the support of an individualistic ideology, locates the contemporary man in the center of his social system, providing it with power to construct and to recreate proper himself and his values. In this context, the religion no longer occupy the central place in the life of the individual, now exempts to manage his questions in the way that better pleases him, no more needing the religion for his accomplishments. Impregnated individuals of ethical and humanitarian values, independent to belong or don t in religious traditions. However, while the religious affiliation can be changing the human s Post-modern, the belief in the spiritual continues and demonstrates small decline, proliferating the demonstrations of spirituality with the sprouting of new religious movements. It is in that context that a religion that embraces different elements and it allows him/it establishment of a singular relationship with the Absolute, starts to occupy a place of prominence in the great and varied fan of the new religious movements.Our current research involves a religion eminently Brazilian that has been growing in that scenery: Santo Daime's Doctrine, composed by elements that go from the popular Catholicism, going to the faith healing Amazonian, until the Kardecist spiritism. We search for understand the psychological processes involved in the constitution of the religious identity in the followers of Santo Daime's Doctrine, giving the owed attention to the psychosocial and personal perspective in the construction of the identity. For in such way, a field research was accomplished, with a methodology that had an interview semi-structured with ten individuals followers of the Kingdom s Sun Church, that belongs at least five consecutive years. The data were examined, on a side, starting from the referential of social identity s theory, of Tajfel and Turner, and, of other, the referential of the structuring by the symbolic and the imaginary, concepts inspired in Lacan.The research concludes that the transformation of the religious identity carries through, properly, when it happens her belongs group, for road of the categorization and/or prototypicality and the elaboration in the level of the symbolic. In the great majority of those researched the accomplished change was verified of it belongs grupal and of symbolic, in which happened the substitution of a symbolic one for other, reorganizing the multiples elements, old and news, around it the new symbolic axis, in the case, Santo Daime's Doctrine. We believed that the process was impelled by the syncretical character of the doctrine and for the singularity of the religious person experience of Santo Daime.
