Yemen is an Islamic society. Nearly all Yemenis are Muslims, with approximately 60% belonging to Sunni Islam (mostly Shafi'i) and 40% belonging to Shia Islam (Zaidi).[2][3][4][5][6][7] Amongst the native population, there were approximately 1,000 Christians, and 6 remaining Jews in 2016. [8] However, Pew-Templeton estimates the number of Christians to be as high as 40,000, though most do not publicly identify as such, due to fears of religious persecution. According to WIN/Gallup International polls, Yemen has the most religious population among Arab countries and it is one of the most religious populations world-wide.[9]
