wow im impressed
editthere literally isnt proper demographic data here. "a 2021 study found that so and so of the population were part of these unsubstanciated christian groups". terrible. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.213.94.237 (talk) 12:32, 31 May 2022 (UTC)
Suboptimal use of EI
editAs the source is depreciated, I am generally in favor of removing it. However, as we need a source for now and this is not an area of highly significant bias, I would suggest having it remain for now FortunateSons (talk) 01:46, 28 January 2024 (UTC)
Largest proportion of Christians of any Middle Eastern country
editAs it stands now, the article states that "Lebanon has by far the largest proportion of Christians of any Middle Eastern country..." Unfortunately the hyperlink directs not to the article on the Middle East but to on on the Arab World which isn't the same thing, despite a lot of overlap. The statement is true only if we exclude from the Middle East Cyprus, which is usually included. Probably over 70% of the population of the whole island of Cyprus is Christian and closer to 90% of the part of the island controlled by Nicosia. This is far greater than the proportion in Lebanon, which is probably only about 40%. 50.49.126.49 (talk) 15:41, 30 September 2024 (UTC)
