What are the major three religions of the Middle East?

Answer 1

The Middle East is one of the most religiously diverse areas in the world. However, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam are considered to be the three biggest religions in the Middle East.

ISLAM: Within Islam, the dominant religion of the Middle East: There are different populations of Sunni Muslims of all four major schools (Hanafi, Hanbali, Shafi'i, and Maliki), there are Shiite Muslims from all of the major schools (Ja'afari - Ethna-3asheri, Zaydi, Isma'ili, Alawi, Alevi), there are also Ibadi Muslims.

CHRISTIANITY: There are several forms of Christianity in the Middle East such as the Copts, Maronites, Syriac Christians, Assyrians, Greek Orthodox, Syrian Orthodox, Syrian Catholics, Melkites, and Armenians. There are smaller communities of Georgian Orthodox, Protestant (usually Anglican), Russian Orthodox, Messianic Jews, and Filipino Catholics.

JUDAISM: There are several forms of Judaism in the Middle East, including Hiloni/Secular, Orthodox, Haredi (of all major schools except Neturei Karta), Hasidic (of all major schools), Masorti, Samaritan, and Karaites.

POST-ISLAMIC RELIGIONS: There are several religious offshoots of Islam in the Middle East that are usually no longer considered Muslims but distinct religions. These include: the Druze and the Baha'i. Some consider the Alawi to be an offshoot of Islam rather than part of Shiite Islam.

OTHER MINORITIES: There are also minority religions like Yezidi, Yarsan, Zoroastrianism, Mandeanism, and Shabakism.
