No official census has been taken since 1932, reflecting the political sensitivity in Lebanon over confessional balance. The CIA World Fact Book gives the following distribution: Muslim - 59.7% (Shi'a, Sunni, Druze, Isma'ilite, Alawite or Nusayri), Christian - 39% (Maronite Catholic, Greek Orthodox, Melkite Catholic, Armenian Orthodox, Syriac Catholic, Armenian Catholic, Syriac Orthodox, Roman Catholic, Chaldean, Assyrian, Coptic, Protestant), and 1.3% as "other".[82] There are 17 recognized religious sects.

ADDED By SHREEK: An important fact in considering Lebanon's Religious Denomination, Lebanese OUTSIDE of Lebanon are not counted in the census. Thus the CIA World Fact Book is factually wrong when assuming Lebanese Religious allegiance only in Lebanon.

If it were to count the Lebanese (Citizens) in the diaspora, the number would be 60% Christians, 40% Muslims.
