“…As among White Americans, Latino religiosity and denominational choice are strongly correlated with conservative abortion attitudes (Bartowski et al 2012; Higgins 2014), exhibited by greater opposition to abortion among Evangelicals compared to Catholics or mainline Protestants (Bartowski et al 2012; Ellison, Echevarría, and Smith 2005; Wong 2018a). And yet religiosity, particularly American Catholicism and Evangelicalism, is both gendered and racialized; indeed, religious behavior and denominational influence have differential effects on Anglo and Black men's and women's political attitudes and behaviors (Cassese and Holman 2016, 2017; Lizotte, Carey, and Meikle 2017; Farris and Holman 2014).…”

The relationship between religiosity and political attitudes is well established in the United States, particularly around gendered issues like abortion. However, this relationship can be complicated by the highly gendered and racialized nature of social identities. In this paper, we explore how different forms of religiosity (belonging to a denomination, specific religious beliefs, and religious behavior in church and in private) interact with gender to shape Latino abortion preferences. Using two sets of national survey data, we find that Evangelicalism and church attendance are more strongly associated with anti-abortion attitudes among Latino men, while religious beliefs are gender neutral. Our results illustrate the importance of intersectional approaches to studies of social identities and political preferences, as well as the importance of including gender in research on the role of the Evangelical church on immigrant political behavior.

“…Most scholars of religion and Latinx politics do not differentiate between evangelical and mainstream Catholics. In one of the few existing studies of Latinx evangelical Catholics, Higgins () finds that Latinx evangelical Catholics are more likely than their mainstream counterparts to vote for the Republican candidate and to self‐identify as conservative. Yet, his analysis is solely based on vote choice in and around the 2004 presidential election.…”

Objectives The objective of this study is to examine the role of religious identification in shaping the partisan affiliation of Latinxs. Methods Using the 2006 Latino National Survey and the 2012 Pew National Survey of Latinos, I conduct an ordinary least squares regression of partisan affiliation among Latinxs by religious affiliation, logistic regressions of presidential voting among Latinxs, and I estimate the predicted probabilities of presidential voting among Latinxs by religious affiliation. Results Latinx evangelical Protestants are less likely than Latinx evangelical Catholics to self‐identify as Democratic and to vote for a Democratic presidential candidate. Conclusion Among Latinx Catholics, the growth of the evangelical community signals greater support for the Democratic Party.
