I've been on two mission trips to Latin America and have spent a lot of time discussing with missionaries and pastors the various Latin American brands of "Christianity.
Two majority versions of Christianity stand out as about equal in number and following:
Word-of-Faith Pentecostalism with it's false promises of material blessing ("name it and claim it" televangelism stuff), and
Synergistic "Roman" Catholicism in which saints and other gods are worshipped right along side Christ, as though nearly equal with Him.
Both groups experience "signs and wonders" which are taken as "proof" that they're true. The worship of the Christian God right along with the worship of several other gods is not seen as contradictory at all, but is considered "catholic."
