“A Gallup Poll earlier this year found that nearly half of U.S. Latinos attend worship services nearly every week, a percentage higher than the general population as a whole. Forty-nine percent of U.S. Latinos said they attend church “once a week or almost every week,” while 17 percent attend worship once a month, and 32 percent say they seldom or never attend church.

That compares to results from a 2004 poll, Gallup noted, that showed 44 percent of all Americans said they attend worship once a week, while 41 percent said they seldom or never attend church.”
