Peru
Spiritual Climate of Peru
Religious freedom is guaranteed, but the Catholic Church as the officially recognized state church receives preferential treatment. The great majority of Catholics are highly syncretistic Christo-Pagans, and Pre-historic religions are being revived and new religious movements multiplying. Nominalism is rapidly becoming a major issue in all evangelical groups.
