===Legacy of Columbus===
Columbus was a devout Christian, a fact that is often downplayed and ignored, who was rumored to have never sworn - unusual for a sailor at that time. On his ship his shipmates would frequently engage in religious worship. After his death it was thought he should have been named a saint for bringing the Christian faith to half the known world while Spain sent thousands of missionaries to the America's. It is because of Columbus that Latin American has the highest number of professing Christians<ref>http://www.christianitytoday.com/ch/1992/issue35/3502.html</ref>.
