Anybody know why there's such a big difference?

    Not the case in Brazil. The number of evangelicals has seen a sharp rise in the last 20 years, mostly driven by the power of megachurches and televangelists, and most of these new converts are poor people. Nobody converts to catholicism, but plenty of people become evangelical.

    You're right that being catholic is the default, though - technically my whole family is catholic, even though most of them haven't gone to church in years.

      Also, i'm not sure but i think that if you live in Spain or Europe being a evangelist follower handing out flyers and such qualifies as a job, so you will have an easier time becoming a citizen. Which is why a lot of those people are poor inmigrants.
