Culture/Religionin Latin America

By Anna G

71% of Latin Americans are Catholic.

More Latin Americans are becoming members of Protestant denominations- mostly in areas such as Chile, Guatemala, Brazil, and Puerto Rico.

Amerindians practice indigenous creeds in areas like Mexico, Guatemala, Peru, and Bolivia.

In areas like Cuba, Haiti, and Brazil, old Afro-Latin American practices like Candomble...

Santeria...

Tribal Voo-Doo...

and Umbanda.

Brazil has the most people who practice Spiritism. Spiritism is based off five books writen by a French Educator who observed seances.

Recent findings show that there has been a rapid growth in secularism.

There has also been a rise in believing in no religion at all.
