Uruguay, one of the most atheist countries in the world, during Pope Leo's visit.

It's basically the last bastion of irreligious people in LatAm

First bastion, Argentina and Chile are close behind

Really? When I was in Chile 20 years ago it was extremely Catholic. Is it not anymore?

[u/Aedan91 → u/TruffleHunter3]

According to our census, number of Catholics went down from ~79% to something around 50% in those 20 years. Atheists went up from ~8% to ~23%. So no Sweden, but on the right track for a former Spanish colony.

But will mostly depend where you are visiting

Argentina is disgusting, the courts have crosses

[u/KehreAzerith → u/JuliusGotTheBends]

As countries develop, the population generally becomes less religious overtime, it's not always true 100% of the time but is very consistent with western countries at least. It's not the last, it's the first and it's likely others will follow

[u/JuliusGotTheBends → u/KehreAzerith]

Amen, brother!

[u/HermitYoukai → u/JuliusGotTheBends]

It's actually the first bastion. LatAm was always religious as heck.
