Some are.

But in general, Latinos are more religious than white. A University of California study showed that 84% of Latinos believe in God; only 78% of whites do. 75% of Latinos pray. 67% of whites do.

It remains my opinion that the Catholic Latino influx improves the overall religiosity of America, and that the impending Catholic majority will be the key to overturning abortion.

Of course, Catholics do tend to be more fiscally liberal than Protestants, so the Latino influx probably equates to moral conservatism/fiscal liberalism. I think that is preferable to the opposite.

I agree with you in part,that the Latino population in general is more religious than the white population,in general.
Many, if not most of the new Hispanic immigrants are not Roman Catholics, they are Pentecostals -Evangelical Protestants.
