This article analyses the shift in modern Argentina?s religious field. Based upon statistical studies on beliefs and religious attitudes, we reflect on a wide range of issues. We address the consequences of secularization in Argentine society, new configurations in how people believe and practise religion, shifts in religious identification, the religious diversification process and believers falling off the institutional frame and, finally, the people?s views on religious intervention in public issues (such as education, sexual health and family planning).
