what role does religion play in Latin America?

Answer 1

This Latino culture is the strong hold of the Catholic Church. Religion is very important, especially in the less developed areas.

Answer 2

Is very important and strong, because in this times still are people who can walk for days without shoes just to visit a certain Church or sanctuary of a saint in his day, just asking or thanking for a miracle. In some places represents the Crucifixion, but in real. I think in some cases influences people decisions,specially in little towns; but things are changing.

Answer 3

Not more than in the center-west of the United States. Less, actually.
