520 |a This article considers the role of religion in the construction of democracy in contemporary Latin America. Religious competition is treated as a key variable and explored in three ways. First, it is analyzed as a dependent variable, and several key factors are introduced to account for its emergence as a vital factor in contemporary Latin America. Next, the dynamics of Latin American religious competition are examined. Finally, religious competition is considered as an independent variable with considerable potential to promote the ongoing construction of democracy in the region. Supporting data are derived from general Latin American experience as well as a representative national case, Venezuela, and a specific urban setting, Caracas. Although clearly not sufficient in itself, religious competition may be a particularly valuable support for the long-term process of democratic deepening within political and civil society throughout the region.
