One of the biggest demographic shifts in recent years has been the decline of Catholicism in Latin America as evangelicalism and secularism rise.
Out of the frying pan into the fire.
Color scheme is a bit confusing, darker typically means more of a given value.
It’s got to be more than 30% in Belize, right?
Yeah in Puerto Rico they tend to be the poorest most uneducated people. Regular Catholics in Puerto Rico are pretty chill while the Protestants are more zealous
Evangelicals in the US have been pouring millions and millions of dollars to allied organizations and churches in Latin America, and even opening chapters of their own organizations.
Focus on the Family for example has a Latin American headquarters, and they’ve been able to make people think that it is a simple „family counseling“ non-profit, while signing deals with local governments, media, etc. This has allowed evangelicals to gain an enormous amount of political power to push their agenda and get new followers.
Kinda sad. It sounds like radicalising
The Bahamas is not part of Latin America
Thats a cancer.
I am sure Venezuela is higher. Evangelicals are becoming more and more common every day. Hell even one my uncles converted
I could be wrong, but I recall hearing from somewhere that a not insignificant amount of these converts do so for some benefits/other reasoning while remaining practicing Catholics or mostly irreligious. Does anyone know what I’m referring to? I wanted to look deeper into this but I forgot where I got this source from
LDS is growing an enormous amount in LA as well.
Brazilian protestant here, glad to see the trend. In my state alone the church used to be around 100k members in 2000, now its past 2 million.
Knock-on effect of the Monroe Doctrine
Ah yes, Evangelical Protestantism, otherwise known as Choose Your Own Catholicism except your local Pope is a multimillionaire from Lynchingtown, Alabama whom you give 1/5 of your wealth to his untaxable “charity”
What’s the difference?
Jamaica, Barbados, Belize, The Bahamas, Guyana and Suriname aren’t LATIN American
Ironic considering how the Protestant Reformation largely failed in the Iberian Peninsula but its descendants have come back with a reckoning in the 20th and 21st centuries in the colonies.
CIA funded to break catholic social teaching
IIRC there has been a decent correlation between Evangelical populations growing in Latin America and an emergence or reemergence of far right ideology that follows it.
We need an other crusade
I hate Evangelicalism.
Is it just a coincidence that the most godforsaken places are the least evangelical protestant?
They have grown up a lot here in Colombia, my parents are one of those, and it is unbearable because I am not religious and at various times I have thought about becoming agnostic, and my parents reproach me a lot when I do not seem to believe in God
It was done by CIA in the cold war to undermine Catholiscism, which is inherently more left leaning
Now 50 years later, we have people who dont celebrate halloween, say anime is from the devil, and dont allow children to see How To Train Your Dragon XD
The Catholic church has abused too many kids, eh?
Thank you again for this „gift“, Uncle Sam.
It’s a plague. Not saying that the Catholic Church did any favors for themselves aligning with many brutal dictatorships throughout the 1950s to 1990s.
Guyana and Suriname are not Latin American countries.
In case anyone is wondering, this is indeed due to US interference. US based Pentecostal missions have been implanted in Latin American to combat Catholicism.
During the Cold War, Latin America often was a breeding ground for Socialist ideas partially because Catholic social teaching is rather socialist itself, you can read up on Cesar Chavez to see where agrarian socialism, economic equality, and Catholicism intersect in Latin American settings
Reagan wasn’t having ANY of that
Its always good to see Rome on the decline. Im an evangelical myself, but there’s a lot of good to say about them, and I still prefer them to the pope.
Jamaica, Bahamas and Turks and Caicos are Latin America?
I’m surprised it’s so high in Chile and so low in Paraguay
This graph makes me sad.
American poison
Someone please stop Brazil I want to get off!
