Because of historical reasons (the laic character of Mexico which in theory does not intend to favor any religion) and contrary to many countries, Mexican Protestants do not have many institutions such as day care centers, schools, universities, labor unions, political parties and hospitals.
Regardless of regional variations, Protestants, often known simply as "Christians" in Mexico are becoming more relevant to the Catholic majority as many of these churches continue to grow greatly because many born-again Christians were once Catholics and converted later in life to this form of Christianity.
