A lot of Latin America's so called Christianity is cultural performance in a cargo-cult sort of way. They go through the motions and say the words because they were brought up to and don't really understand it or believe it on any real personal level. It's why you see so many cartel criminals with Christian tattoos. It's a cultural edifice to them, not an actual faith system, and it's a major reason why so many of them are still so freely able to act like garbage all the time. The real soul-changing faith that is supposed to animate their actions never took root, just the appearance of it because that's what their parents taught them.
