The number of US Hispanics identifying themselves as Catholic has declined in the last five years. According to a Gallup poll, 11 per cent of US Hispanics selected their religious preference as "None/Don't Know Refused" in 2008, compared with 15 per cent in 2012. While the number identifying themselves as Protestant remained largely the same (27 per cent in 2008 versus 28 per cent in 2012), those identifying themselves as Catholic fell in the last five years from 58 per cent to 54 per cent....

....The gap in religiosity is evident across Hispanics of all ages. While a third of 18 to 29-year-old Hispanic Catholics describe themselves as very religious, this rises to over half (52 per cent) of Hispanic Protestants in the same age bracket. The Gallup report added: "Overall, the finding that younger Hispanics are proportionately more Protestant and that all Hispanics are becoming proportionately more Protestant over time suggest that the percentage of Hispanics who are Catholic may continue to slip in the years to come."

Here in central Texas, I’ve seen many Protestant churches becoming mostly Hispanic. In a lot of cases, the signs and announcements are in Spanish.

The ALMIGHTY DOLLAR is why Hispanics come to the US.

I am sure if you asked most illegal immigrants from Latin America what the most important thing to them is... they would probably say money, beer (alcohol), and a good vehicle (car). Religion would be far down their list of things that they consider important.
