The '''Social Christian Party''' (in portuguese: ''Partido Social Cristão'', PSC) is a [[brazil]]ian [[Christian]] political party with [[conservative]]<ref>[http://www.brasil247.com/pt/247/poder/137353/Pastor-Everaldo-se-oferece-como-op%C3%A7%C3%A3o-dos-conservadores.htm Pastor Everaldo is offered as an option for conservatives], Brazil247 - 4/21/2014</ref> social views since its foundation, and since 2014 has adopted a pro-[[free market]] vision<ref name=everaldo>[http://exame.abril.com.br/brasil/noticias/candidato-pastor-everaldo-defende-livre-mercado Candidate Pastor Everaldo defends free market], EXAME - 8/28/2014</ref>. This began to be noticed in the campaigns and presidential debates, where the candidate Everaldo Pereira advocated [[economic liberalism]] and [[free enterprise]]<ref name=everaldo>[http://exame.abril.com.br/brasil/noticias/candidato-pastor-everaldo-defende-livre-mercado Candidate Pastor Everaldo defends free market], EXAME - 8/28/2014</ref>, contrary to the traditional [[anti-capitalist]] vision of brazilian politics, one of the most corrupt in the world<ref>[http://veja.abril.com.br/blog/reinaldo/geral/por-que-o-brasil-e-um-dos-paises-mais-corruptos-do-mundo/ Why Brazil is one of the most corrupt countries in the world?], [[Veja (Magazine)|VEJA]] - 4/6/2012</ref>.

As the [[Brazilian Republican Party]], the party had previously [[socialism|interventionist economic]] views despite [[conservative]] social views, including supporting [[Lula]] and [[Dilma]] [[Marxist]] governments<ref>[http://g1.globo.com/especiais/eleicoes-2010/noticia/2010/06/psc-e-ptc-decidem-apoiar-candidatura-de-dilma-rousseff.html PSC and PTC decide to support candidacy of Dilma Rousseff], G1 - 6/30/2010</ref>. Influenced by the rise of the brazilian [[New Right]], movements such as MBL (''Movimento Brasil Livre'', in enligsh: ''Brazil Free Movement'') and [[right-wing]] politicians like [[Jair Bolsonaro]] and [[Ronaldo Caiado]], the party changed his views and went to look further to the [[right]].

Influenced by [[german]] [[christian democracy]] and [[ordoliberalism]], the PSC is one of the more controversial parties of [[Brazil]], a country that, despite having a [[Catholic]] majority, is has a growing [[politically correct]] [[atheism|anti-religious]] mindset. People with less understanding in politics confuse Christian-based policies with [[theocracy]] and violation of the [[secular state]], and therefore reject a party with [[Christian]] and politicians<ref>[http://noticias.gospelmais.com.br/ativistas-gays-elegem-evangelicos-inimigos-publicos-movimento-68159.html "Gay activists elect evangelical public enemies of the movement"], Gospel+ - 5/30/2014</ref>. His most famous name is [[Marco Feliciano]], considered [[homophobic]]<ref>[http://oglobo.globo.com/politica/deputado-federal-marco-feliciano-faz-coro-as-declaracoes-de-bolsonaro-ataca-negros-homossexuais-2802944 Congressman Marco Feliciano echoed the statements of Bolsonaro and attacks blacks and homosexuals], O Globo - 3/31/2011</ref> and [[racist]]<ref>[http://veja.abril.com.br/noticia/brasil/deputado-maldicao-africana-tambem-chegou-ao-brasil Evangelical deputy sees curse on Africa], [[Veja (Magazine)|VEJA]] - 4/1/2011</ref> by the [[liberal media]] due to a controversial project which argued that [[psychiatrists]] should have the right to help [[homosexual]]s who wanted treatment.
