As Brazil, Colombia, and Peru prepare for upcoming presidential contests, fresh polling data from the Pew Research Center reveals that religious considerations will play a significant role in voters’ decisions across all three countries. The survey shows that roughly two-thirds of citizens in each nation desire a leader who will actively support and protect their faith-based values.
The research also uncovered strong support for incorporating religious principles into governance, with approximately the same percentage of respondents expressing the view that biblical teachings should serve as the foundation for their country’s legal framework. Perhaps most surprisingly, the poll found that even among those who don’t consider themselves religious, about half shared this perspective on the role scripture should play in lawmaking.
