Demographics of Christianity in the Middle East

Christian communities in the Middle East are historically concentrated in countries such as Israel, Palestine, Egypt, and Lebanon. Presently, Christians make up less than 10% of the population in most of these countries, with Lebanon having the largest Christian plurality at around 25%. Despite the shrinking numbers, Egypt's Coptic Christians still represent a notable population, estimated between 10% to 15%. Interestingly, recent calculations suggest there are now more Christians in Egypt today than during the time of the Islamic conquest, reflecting a significant numerical presence despite the percentage decline.
