Mexicans tend to be rather lax Catholics. There is no way that 75% are devout Christians. But there are very few empty churches in Mexico. There is a saying in Spanish that applies to both religion and legal matters' "Se obedece, pero no se cumple". Which means "One obeys, but does not comply". Basically it means that the Church and the government are acknowledged to exist, but one should not pay much attention to them.
