Northern Africa and the Middle East

Religions of NAME

Northern Africa and the Middle East is the birthplace the world's three monotheistic religions: Islam, Judaism, and Christianity. While Christianity claims the highest amount of worldwide adherents, this is not the case in NAME. Islam, the second largest and one of the fastest growing worldwide religions, dominates all but two (Israel and Ethiopia) of the region's countries.

The world revolves around the NAME region. Hardly a day passes where one or more of the region's countries isn't dramatized in the news. Because of this exposure, most of us are familiar—at least on a surface level—with the religions of NAME. But what do Muslims actually believe? How does Judaism differ from Christianity? And is Christianity in NAME similar to Christianity with which we are familiar?
