Protestants Tilt Latin Politics

Pew survey data from spring 2024 show Protestants in several large Latin American countries are disproportionately likely to want religion reflected in national leadership, identity and laws, even where they are a minority. This pattern appears across Brazil, Colombia, Peru, Argentina, Chile and Mexico and is strongest in places like Colombia (81% of Protestants say a president should stand up for their religious beliefs). — If Protestants continue to mobilize politically, they could disproportionately influence candidate platforms, coalition-building, and lawmaking in upcoming elections across the region.
