In the past generation, Protestants have grown from 2% to as much
as 25% of the population of some Latin American countries. In
Europe and North America, Catholicism has traditionally been
associated with authoritarian politics, whereas Protestantism is
associated with democracy and capitalism.
This book uses survey data to study the nexus of religion and
politics in Brazil, Chile and Mexico. More specifically,
Protestants and Catholics are compared in terms of political
participation, democratic attitudes, and political engagement. They
study finds that religious variables do impact political behavior
and attitudes in the region.
This book is unique in that very few studies of religion and
politics in Latin America use cross-national, quantitative data.
Most existing studies observe an individual group, church, or
denomination; this work looks at what is happening across
Brazilian, Chilean, and Mexican societies. Thus, it provides
background and information on voting patterns, interest in
politics, and religious based political parties.
