Latinos, Religion, and Politics

Rudy links to a very interesting study on the affects of religious affiliation and political views among Latinos. What I find truly fascinating is that latinos who affiliate with a mainline protestant denomination are the MOST likely to identify as a Republican. I could understand if it were evangelicals, as that matches the stereotype, but the stereotype of mainline churches is that they are overwhelmingly liberal. Interesting how the Latino population goes against so many stereotypes that people try to hand out.
