And Catholics, in turn, are more likely than religiously unaffiliated adults to be frequent churchgoers. In Peru, for instance, Protestants are around twice as likely as Catholics to go to church weekly (57% vs. 27%), while just 6% of religiously unaffiliated Peruvian adults say they attend that often.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This broad, regional pattern (Protestants attending church at higher rates than Catholics) was also found in our <a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/religion\/2014\/11\/13\/chapter-2-religious-commitment-and-practice\/#religious-service-attendance\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">2013-14 survey of the region<\/a>. However, the recent survey\u2019s results cannot be directly compared with specific percentages from the earlier survey due to changes in question wording.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Brazil, Pentecostal Protestants are more likely than non-Pentecostal Protestants to attend church weekly (76% vs. 54%). (Brazil is the only surveyed country with samples large enough to compare Pentecostal Protestants with non-Pentecostal Protestants.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In all but one of the six countries surveyed, women are more likely than men to attend religious services.
