Peru

Peru is Catholic as a country. The dominant religious context is: Catholic majority (~76%) with growing evangelical minority (~14%); Andean syncretic practice woven through both.

Catholic deconstruction in Peru usually has a family-and-ritual shape rather than a doctrinal one. Many of you stopped practicing years ago and are now navigating around the baptisms, first communions, weddings, and funerals that the family still treats as load-bearing. The pillar page on Catholicism, the page on the guilt that lingers, and the page on funerals and weddings will probably fit closely.

Leaving in Peru mostly costs you on a family scale rather than a community or legal scale. The conversations are real and sometimes painful, but the wider society is not configured to punish unbelief.
