The Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life is always an interesting source of information on, well, religion and public life both in America and abroad. They've released a new poll and analysis piece that focuses on the impact that America's growing Latino community will have on religion and American politics.

There are a few very interesting findings, especially in the attitude of Hispanics to government social services. Whether Catholic, Evangelical, or Secular, Hispanics by wide margins favor government guaranteed health insurance, and are willing to pay higher taxes for government services. Check out this and more in the report at the Pew Forum's website.

More than two-thirds (69%) of Latinos support publicly funded health insurance for all citizens, for instance, even if this results in higher taxes. On this issue, there is virtually no difference between Latino Catholics and evangelicals. By contrast, Catholics in the general population are somewhat more likely than evangelicals to endorse publicly funded health care. Similarly, almost two-thirds (64%) of all Hispanics, including similar numbers of Catholics and evangelicals, say they would opt for higher taxes if the result were more government services.
