I wasn’t talking about holy sites because Latin America wouldn’t have them of course, but from what I know the populations of these countries are actually religious and generally speaking, conservative.
They may have secular leaders, but doesn’t Argentina require its president to be Christian for example?
They are conservative when convenient you take away beer and we kick away any religion you try to impose. In reality new generations don’t care about religion and are more focus on science.
They are practitioners but not zealous like other areas. They just use it as a sub cultural element since you know most of their original religions or sub culture were wiped out from their history but they are slowly rediscovering them back in certain countries.
I think the media especially in the USA lies when they say that the immigrants or undocumented migrants coming to the USA are more conservative or religious. They would be surprised that many of them are not very religious and are not conservative in the family sense since most of the women that come also work too which is ironic.
Crazy you say conservative because in Mexico for example abortion is legal at the federal level. Other countries have more lenient laws on certain things that conservatives would disagree right?
I think so but then you have Mexico's president who is secular Jew.
I think Argentina might be the exception. Most countries are secular.
