Notes to answerer
Asker: Não me agrada a idéia de MAINLY, porque ela dá grande ênfase ao assunto a que refere a frase. Não é o caso. No meu entendimento, PRINCIPALMENTE PORQUE é diferente de ATÉ PORQUE. Vejo ambos os termos com ênfases diferentes. Agradeço a sugestão.

Explanation:
I agree with Asker that "mainly" gives the idea too much emphasis. My suggestion is radical, but I think it captures the feel
