The People
Today most Latin Americans live in rapidly growing cities.
In South America, about 80 percent of people live in cities, but in Central America and the Caribbean, only about 65 percent are urban dwellers.
Daily Life
During colonial times, most Latin Americans became Christians, and Christianity still has the most followers. Roman Catholics form the largest Christian group, but in recent years missionaries have encouraged many people to convert to Protestant forms of Christianity.
