| | They maintain economic ties with neighbouring countries, and are grouped by the United Nations in predominantly Latin American regions (South and Central America). | | | The primary religion throughout Latin America is Roman Catholicism, but one can also find practitioners belonging to Protestant, Pentecostal, Evangelical, Mormon, Buddhist, Jewish, Hindu, Bahá'í, indigenous, and various Afro-Latin American traditions, such as Santería, and Macumba. | | | From a socio-political perspective, including only independent countries, Latin America corresponds roughly to all nations south of the Rio Grande, consisting of Mexico (in North America), most of Central and South America, and the countries of the Caribbean where Spanish, French, Portuguese or Creoles based on those languages are spoken. |
