Summary/Abstract: This article intends to propose, from the perspective of the critical thinking junction with neurolinguistic programming (NLP) and the psychology of persuasion, a model of mental filters to illustrate how the posters used in election campaigns distort manipulatively or even cancel the initial meaning of the religious symbols used. Furthermore, it intends to show, by means of the critical thinking mental filters model proposed, how the distortion of the initial message from the religious symbols used in the political campaigns intervenes deceptively in the argumentative content of the electoral posters that use such symbols. Finally, this article will illustrate how critical thinking filters intervene, similar to mental patterns or maps, also at the rational level (logical, analytical, and comprehensive), not only at the psychological level of persuasive behaviour (representation systems, mental states, behaviour meta-models, including NLP type).
