Ethnicity

56% of Guatemalans is Ladino, according to the census, right. According to Latinobarometro, 19% of guatemalans describe themselves as white, 30% as mestizo and 45% as indigenous. According to COPREDEH, around 58% of guatemalans is amerindian or mayan descents. The answer is that, the mixture of ancestries is very common, and the urbanization affected the traditional indigenous culture. Im guatemalan, so i can describe this. A century ago, 95% of guatemalans with remarkable indigenous ancestry (both blood and physical characters) used typic costumes and 70% only spoke indigenous landuages, today those percents are lower than 40%, but its interesting to describe that some percentage of racial-indigenous people could have spanish surnames (mixture), in other countries their are recognized as ´´cholos or indio-mestizo´´ (people with european but predominantly indigenous ancestry) they represent more than 10% of population. Also, more than 2 million of guatemalans has nociably european ancestry, actually nearly a million could be predominantly european (white skin, light eyes), the reason is for european migration beetwen 1870-1940, despite other countries haved more significantly waves, european migrants were mixed into guatemalan population (including indigenous and mulattoes), with high fertilities, european ancestry was expanded very fast, today houndred of thousands has brown skin but german surnames and several has light eyes, their background is very mixed, and these phenomena included asiatic, caribean, arab.... migration.

Religion

In this issue, there are some relative situation that are very contradictory. According to academic estimations, 90-95% of guatemalans is Christian, but other surveys or estimations found that non-religious people could be more than 10%, but unchanged since early 90´s, from this time the protestant population dont growth as expectations, despite roman catholica droped in 80´s, the size of percentage is stable but decreasing, according to estimations in 2010´s decade beetwen 45-55% of guatemalans are Catholics (with undefinitly line of evolution), Protestants are found beetwen 26 (Operation World) to 41 percent (Latinobarometro 2018), and nonreligious people varies in 6% (Pew Forum, 2014) to 14 percent (Latinobarometro 2018), according to Operation World, nearly 15% of population is unaffiliated Christian. Other Christians represents 2-3% in all estimations, and non-christian faiths less than 1%, with nearly all being of mayan religion, although beetwen 40 to 60 percent of population practice some mayan beliefs. Also, roughly 5-10 percent of guatemalans belive in some non-christian faith issues, specially for the New Age influence.
