Abstract

This paper is a discursive analysis of the sentence "God be praised", present in banknotes in circulation in Brazil. Based on the Discourse Analysis of Michel Pêcheux, we seek to understand the conditions of discourse production that entered and that supports the permanence of this statement in cash as well as the controversy around it. The paper is structured as follows: first we introduce the topic, specifying the object of analysis and showing historically how was the placement of this statement in the money. Then we quickly expose the controversy surrounding the civil action (2012), that intended to remove this statement from the money. After that, we passed the examination itself and show how religious ideology works on the statement in question once printed on a support such as paper money. In conclusion, we make some comments about the materiality of religious discourse and its implications in the public sphere.
