Large secular share among Latino Americans

Pew Research Center's 2023–24 Religious Landscape Study finds that 27% of Latino Americans identify with no religion while 42% identify as Catholic and 17% as evangelical Protestant. That single statistic — a large unaffiliated minority within a historically Catholic group — is a measurable cultural shift worth tracking. — A substantial nonreligious share among U.S. Latinos could reshape community institutions, messaging by political parties, and the cultural alignment of a key demographic.
