Atheists are a very small minority of Latinos (see: Atheism and Latino Americans). Among intellectual, atheism is more prevalent among communists (see: Atheism and communism).
Despite atheists being on the left side of political spectrum and celebrating diversity, Western atheists rarely cite the works Hispanic atheist philosophers.
Given their small proportion of the Latino population and the antipathy many Latinos have against atheists, social scientists have shown little interests in studying the IQs/intelligence of Latino atheists. This is not entirely surprising. In the United States (a religious region), Dr. Melanie Brewster, gave a talk entitled Why is Psychology Silent When it Comes to Atheism? and she indicated there is a general reluctance of psychologists to study the atheist population.[1] See also: Views on atheists
National IQ of Cuba compared to more religious Latino countries
Culturally, Cuba is considered Latin American. The non-religious/atheists are about 24% of Cuba's population. The national IQ of Cuba is 85.[2]
In Argentina, where 10.3% describe themselves as atheist, agnostics, or having no religion, the national IQ is 93.[3][2] In addition, the more religious Latino countries of Chile, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Mexico and Bolivia also have higher national IQ scores than Cuba.[2]
After the 1959 communist revolution, the government of Cuba did not restrict religious practice to the extent that was done in the Soviet Union. However, the large atheist population in Cuba compared to other Latino nations, was caused by its communist history (see: Atheism and communism).
In addition, religious individuals were not allowed to join the Cuban Communist Party due to religion being incompatible to the party's Marxist philosophy.
Latino atheists and bodily–kinesthetic intelligence
See also: Atheism and bodily-kinesthetic intelligence

Latino dances and atheism
As far as Latin dance, Roman Catholic settlers merged native culture with their own and incorporated catholic saints and stories to dances. Latino atheists have developed no Latino atheist dances (see: Atheism and dance).
