FAITH STUDY: Immigrants alter religious culture

NEW YORK TIMES — 

The influx of Hispanic immigrants to the United States is transforming the Roman Catholic Church as well as the nation’s religious landscape, according to a study of Hispanics and faith released Wednesday...

According to [the Pew Hispanic Center and the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life] survey, 68 percent of Hispanics are Catholic, 15 percent are born-again or evangelical Protestants, 5 percent are mainline Protestants, 3 percent are identified as “other Christian” and 8 percent are secular (1 percent refused to answer).

Among non-Hispanic Americans, the largest groupings are 20 percent Catholic, 35 percent evangelical Protestant and 24 percent mainline Protestant.

So, according to the Pew survey, any grand transformations going on in the spiritual lives of Hispanics obviously don't involve Islam at any measurable level. If anything, Hispanics living in the United States make it more of a Christian nation.
