Answer 4

Chile is a south american country that was conquered by

Spain and ruled it for many years. Like so many countries

that was ruled by Spain, the people were converted to

christianity, specifically the Roman Catholic religion.

When it gained independence, other religious influences

began to arise and soon some were converted to become

baptists, pentacostals, and other protestant congregations.

Others reverted to their ancient religious practices.

However, at present almost 76% of the population remain

adherent of the Catholic church and only 24% have other

beliefs. This is just a miniscule of what you can know about

the country. If you wish to know more us your internet to

have a comprehensive view and knowledge of Chile.

Hope i was able to help you.
