Uruguay
Spiritual Climate of Uruguay
Uruguayan society has been characterized by secularism and hope in man for over 100 years. The majority of those affiliated with the Catholic Church are, in practice, non-religious. The largest non-Catholic religious bodies are sects, and the New Age thinking has filled the vacuum among the agnostic middle-class and intelligentsia.
