Religion..There isn't just one present.

Israel can be considered yet another melting pot for religions, although the religions present are not as many as you may find here in he united States they still have a good number. Religions you can find in Israel are Judaism which consists of 80% of the population, Arabs and Christians. The Arabs you would find in Israel are mostly Sunni Muslims, and the Christians consist of Greek Catholic, Greek Orthodox and Roman Catholics. 

As shown in the pie chart above Judaism practiced by the Jews is the primary religion in Israel. 


In the Islamic law, all religions are welcome in the land, and the Church of the Holy Sepulchre is a great example. The Church is in the city of Jerusalem and built where Jesus Christ was said to have been crucified and buried. The Church is shared by the Eastern Orthodoxy, Oriental Orthodoxy, and Roman Catholic. This is a great example of religions in the same area being able to act civil and really appreciate what they share together.
