The influence of the Spanish and Portuguese on the religions of Latin America was primarily focused on the spread of Christianity. Both countries were driven by a mission to convert the native populations to Catholicism, which became the dominant religion in the region. The Spanish and Portuguese established missions, built churches, and enforced religious practices among the indigenous peoples. This influence continues to be felt in Latin American culture and traditions, with Catholicism playing a significant role in the lives of many people in the region.
