For some reason, it never occurred to me that people immigrating to the USA would become less religious, but the NY Times claims US Hispanics are going to church less. The subtext here, never mentioned, it the battle for Hispanic voters between Democrats and Republicans. Dems try to attract Hispanics more with messages of social justice, while the GOP generally uses a religious angle. However, Democratic candidates show increasing religious identification, presumably suggesting that the religious approach has more draw. While this NYT article suggests religion declines as a touchstone the more years Hispanics remain in the USA, the magnitude is not huge. For Mexican-Americans, the article reports only a 7% drop.
