Trinity College Colloquium:
"Are U.S. Latino Society & Culture Undergoing Secularization?"
March 7, 2006

The explosive growth of the U.S. Latino population would seem to be a boon for American churches. In fact, most of them have been strengthened by increasing numbers of Latino adherents. But the 2001 ARIS/PARAL study, Religious Identification among Hispanics in the United States, suggests the surprising weakness of Latino ties to religious institutions.
