Latinos Are All About Family And Faith... But Not Applying The Bible To Their Lives: Nevermind the latest political trends -- Latinos are all about their faith and family values, a new survey says.
“Hispanic America: Faith, Values & Priorities,” a study conducted by Barna Group in partnership with American Bible Society, the National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference and OneHope, says Hispanics believe a traditional family is the main building block for a healthy community, and that their most important contribution to American society is the commitment they have to their own.
The news provides a silver lining for conservatives looking to appeal to the growing Latino vote after Mitt Romney's poor performance among Hispanics played a major role in costing him the presidential election.
"Faith and family are the main building blocks of Hispanic Americans,“ Rev. Samuel Rodriguez, president of the National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference said in a statement. "The 2012 election catapulted the importance of the Latino demographic to the proverbial stratosphere."
