African slaves syncretised their native beliefs with the Catholic religion. While nominally Catholic, many of their descendants still hold beliefs that are identifiably African, such as Candomblé and Umbanda.

According to the most recent official survey 58.1% of Uruguayans define themselves as Christian (47% Roman Catholic, 11.1% Protestant), 23.2% as "believing in God but without religion", 17.2% as Atheist or Agnostic, 0.6% as followers of Umbanda or other African religions, 0.3% as Jewish, and 0.4% chose "Other". - Wikipedia

Brazil is a diverse country with various beliefs, but predominant ones include Christianity (Catholicism and Protestantism), Afro-Brazilian religions like Candomblé and Umbanda, and Spiritism. There is also a growing number of people identifying as atheist or agnostic. The mix of indigenous, African, and European influences has also shaped unique syncretic beliefs in Brazil.

Religious conflicts in Brazil are primarily between Roman Catholics and Evangelical Christians, with some tensions also between practitioners of Afro-Brazilian religions, such as Candomblé and Umbanda, and mainstream Christian groups. These conflicts often revolve around issues of belief, competition for followers, and historical prejudice. Overall, Brazil is known for its religious diversity and tolerance, but instances of discrimination and violence based on religious differences can still occur.

Brazilian culture reflects the various peoples who make up the Demographics of this South American country: Indians, Europeans, Africans, Asians, Arabs etc. As a result of the intense miscegenation of peoples, there was a peculiar cultural reality, which summarizes the various cultures.

Some of the popular music genre originating in Brazil are the most popular Choro, Samba, Bossa Nova and Musica Popular Brasilians.

About three quarters of the population follows the Roman Catholic religion, which makes the country the absolute number of Catholics in the world. There is still a small number of followers of the Brazilian Catholic Church. Here Protestantism 15 percent of the population (mostly by Pentecostal evangelical churches), 1 percent is spirit, 0.5 percent is a Jehovah's Witness and nearly 7 percent have no religion. Other religions, although few practitioners deserve quotation are religions of African origin (sometimes practiced in syncretism with the Catholic religion), like Umbanda and Candomble. Judaism, Buddhism, Islam and Hinduism (Hare Krishna) have a small number of followers in Brazil, often concentrated in cities in South, Southeast and Northeast.

Brazil has a rich and diverse cultural heritage influenced by Indigenous, European, African, and Asian traditions. Some customs and traditions include the celebration of Carnival, a vibrant festival with music, dance, and elaborate costumes. Brazilian cuisine is known for dishes like feijoada (black bean stew) and churrasco (barbecue). Additionally, Capoeira, a martial art that incorporates elements of dance and music, is a significant cultural practice in Brazil.

Cuba has been a Communist country since 1959. In some instances Catholicism is much modified and influenced through syncretism. A common syncretic religion is Santería, which combined the Yoruban religion of the African slaves with Catholicism and some Native American strands; it shows similarities to Brazilian Umbanda and has been receiving a degree of official support. The Roman Catholic Church estimates that 60 percent of the population is Catholic, but only 5% of that 60% attends mass regularly,while independent sources estimate that as few 1.5% of the population does so.

Membership in Protestant churches is estimated to be 5 percent and includes Baptists, Pentecostals, Seventh-day Adventists, Presbyterians, Anglicans, Episcopalians,Methodists, Religious Society of Friends (Quakers), and Lutherans. Other groups include the Greek Orthodox Church, the Russian Orthodox Church, Jehovah's Witnesses,Muslims, Jews, Buddhists, Baha'is, and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormons).

Cuba is home to a variety of syncretic religions of largely African cultural origin.

Brazilian Portuguese is the language of Brazil. Roman Catholicism is the religion. But in both cases, Brazil is a melting pot of cultures and languages. Just about any language spoken and any religion worshipped in the world may find speakers and followers in South America's largest country.
