Abstract In March 2015, the cartoonist Vitor Teixeira published a cartoon alluding to the controversy over the Altar Gladiators project. In the image, a man in a gladiator's helmet and a T-shirt with the symbol of the Universal Church of the Kingdom of God (IURD) thrust a sword into a woman, dressed as a holy mother. The cartoonist was extrajudicially challenged by the Church, which accused him of "inciting religious hatred". The article focuses on the cyberaccordance, which involves the controversy surrounding the publication of the cartoon on the web and the circulation of the interagents' comments on websites and portals that have spread the news about the event. The text reconstructs the path of circulation of this cyberaccordance, based on news published in nine Brazilian portals, both denominational and non-denominational, and of different political orientations, which resulted in 494 comments on the subject. The results of the analysis of the comments on the networks point out that the defense of the right to freedom of expression and worship is not always accompanied by the recognition of the other as someone endowed with the same rights and worthy of respect.
