America’s 53 million Latinos now make up the country’s largest ethnic minority, but their religious makeup is undergoing significant changes.
While a slim majority (55 percent) of the nation’s estimated 35.4 million Latino adults identify as Catholic today, that signals a drop of about 12 percent over the last four years.
Hispanics leaving Catholicism have tended to move in two directions. About 16 percent now describe themselves as born-again or evangelical, and 18 percent are now religiously unaffiliated.
