description From the beginning of his presidential mandate in 2006, Evo Morales has shown his loyalty towards a sumptous “indigenous religion”, very different from the “oppressed religion” of native Andean  as identified by Liberation theologians during the 1970s. This paper questions the relevance of concepts such as “New-Indian religion” and “Andean religion” commonly used to name it. Instead of categorial attributions which label it as specific of Indian identity, we suggest to take into consideration its previous history (Indianism, Katarism…) as well as the political context in which it develops (State’s secularisation, conflicts with the Catholic church).
