Pew: 1 in 4 Latinos in America identify as 'former Catholics'

The Pew Religion & Public Life Project reported in May that nearly one in four Latino Americans are now former Catholics. They're leaving the faith of their parents and grandparents---and often joining evangelical or Pentecostal churches.

As with many young Americans of all backgrounds, they're also identifying themselves as religiously unaffiliated.

While the majority of Latino adults still identify as Catholic, that number is down 12 percent in just four years. On The Daily Circuit, we talk about why and what it means for the church.

If you're Latino and you've joined or been searching for a new faith, tell us why. If you belong to a church, is your congregation becoming more diverse? Leave your experiences in the comments below.
