Examines a side of Andrés Manuel López Obrador that involves the use of religion for political and electoral purposes, a practice he has engaged in since 1992. Notes the genesis of AMLO, starting with his political beginnings and continuing through significant events like his Exodus - the symbolic journey he made from Tabasco to Mexico City for democracy - and the symbolic religious processions he has constructed and participated in. It isnt about disparaging the political figure but presenting and describing this significant part of his trajectory, where he has utilized emblems, symbols, epiphanies, narratives, and religious parables when necessary. This strategy has proven effective, portraying AMLO not only alongside national heroes in murals, paintings, and statues but also in religious items like scapulars, holy cards, prayers, novenas, and as an object of faith for many of his followers. The books chapters details various aspects such as his influence as a leader, the religious context surrounding his political image, and the symbolic and linguistic uses of religious concepts to achieve his political goals
