We are heirs of the Baroque who gave birth to us, a Baroque who turned religion and politics into spectacle and who now seems to be more alive than ever in our culture specialized in the drill. Religious images, with their materiality and symbolism, are the protagonists of this essay. Through them, the author analyzes the political role of religious forms of today's popular culture to determine the meaning of the civic bond they mask. Images used to tame, classify, subordinate... Abidrated, rigorous, chaotic or serene-looking and regulated, the forms of worship and beliefs detailed here call directly to surprise, piety and outrage. Starting from the relics, first objects of consumption since the Middle Ages, passing by a surprise of religious images (the children jesuses) and an icon with an excessive power (the figure of Christ the King), we will reach the popular fetish of our day, when these apparent ancient remains have become the last cry of the supply of consumption.
