Latino Religious Trends

When I've visited homes of my Latino friends, I've always found a work of religious art. Most of them also identify as Latino Catholic. An Associated Press-Univision poll released today, finds that while 62 percent of Hispanics identify as Catholic, that only includes 55 percent of young adults 18 to 29, compared with 80 percent of elders 65 and over. Additionally, the poll finds that Latino Catholics have lower levels of religiosity than Protestant Latinos. For instance, 70 percent of Hispanic Protestants said the Bible is the literal word of God, compared with 46 percent of Hispanic Catholics. I wonder what the impact of this change will be on the future purchase, creation and display of religious art in Latino homes?
