Anyone else surprised that Lebanon is less strict than Turkey.
I’m not. After WWII, Lebanon actually entered the civilized world — briefly.
No. There are many Christians in Lebanon.
Demographics
See also: Demographics of Lebanon
The number of Christians in Lebanon has been disputed for many years. There has been no official census in Lebanon since 1932. But official records confirm that in 1926 when the state of Lebanon was officially announced and recognised by the allies the Christians formed 84% of the population. Many argue over the percentage and population of Christians in Lebanon. One estimate of the Christian share of Lebanon’s population as of the late 2000s is 39%.[7] The country has the largest percentage of Christians of all the Middle Eastern nations.
