The ecclesiastical and demographic patterns of the sects and denominations are complex. Divisions and rivalries between groups date back as far as 15 centuries, and still are a factor today. The pattern of settlement has changed little since the 7th century, but instances of civil strife and <a href="/wiki/Ethnic_cleansing" title="Ethnic cleansing">ethnic cleansing</a>, most recently during the <a href="/wiki/Lebanese_Civil_War" title="Lebanese Civil War">Lebanese Civil War</a>, has brought some important changes to the religious map of the country. (See also <a href="/wiki/History_of_Lebanon" title="History of Lebanon">History of Lebanon</a>.) </p><p>Lebanon has by far the largest proportion of <a href="/wiki/Christianity_in_Lebanon" title="Christianity in Lebanon">Christians</a> of any <a href="/wiki/Arab_world" title="Arab world">Middle Eastern country</a>, but both Christians and <a href="/wiki/Islam_in_Lebanon" title="Islam in Lebanon">Muslims</a> are sub-divided into many splinter sects and denominations. Population statistics are highly controversial. The various denominations and sects each have vested interests in inflating their own numbers. <a href="/wiki/Shia_Islam_in_Lebanon" class="mw-redirect" title="Shia Islam in Lebanon">Shias</a>, <a href="/wiki/Sunni_Islam_in_Lebanon" class="mw-redirect" title="Sunni Islam in Lebanon">Sunnis</a>, <a href="/wiki/Maronite_Christianity_in_Lebanon" class="mw-redirect" title="Maronite Christianity in Lebanon">Maronites</a> and <a href="/wiki/Eastern_Orthodox_Christianity_in_Lebanon" class="mw-redirect" title="Eastern Orthodox Christianity in Lebanon">Eastern Orthodox</a> (the four largest denominations) all often claim that their particular religious affiliation holds a majority in the country, adding up to over 150% of the total population, even before counting the other denominations. One of the rare things that most Lebanese religious leaders will agree on is to avoid a new general <a href="/wiki/Census" title="Census">census</a>, for fear that it could trigger a new round of denominational conflict.<sup class="noprint Inline-Template Template-Fact" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed"><span title="This claim needs references to reliable sources.

Dividing state power between the religious denominations and sects, and granting religious authorities judicial power, dates back to <a href="/wiki/Ottoman_Empire" title="Ottoman Empire">Ottoman</a> times (the <a href="/wiki/Millet_(Ottoman_Empire)" title="Millet (Ottoman Empire)">millet</a> system). The practice was reinforced during <a href="/wiki/France" title="France">French</a> mandate, when Christian groups were granted privileges. This system of government, while partly intended as a compromise between sectarian demands, has caused tensions that still dominate Lebanese politics to this day. </p><p>The Christian population majority is believed to have ended in the early 1970s, but government leaders would agree to no change in the political power balance. This led to Muslim demands for increased representation, and the constant sectarian tension slid into violent conflict in 1958 (prompting <a href="/wiki/Lebanon_crisis_of_1958" class="mw-redirect" title="Lebanon crisis of 1958">U.S. intervention</a>) and again in the grueling <a href="/wiki/Lebanese_Civil_War" title="Lebanese Civil War">Lebanese Civil War</a>, in 1975–90. </p> <figure class="mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Natural_Growth_Rate_in_Lebanon_throughout_years.png" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d5/Natural_Growth_Rate_in_Lebanon_throughout_years.png/140px-Natural_Growth_Rate_in_Lebanon_throughout_years.png" decoding="async" width="140" height="104" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d5/Natural_Growth_Rate_in_Lebanon_throughout_years.png/210px-Natural_Growth_Rate_in_Lebanon_throughout_years.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d5/Natural_Growth_Rate_in_Lebanon_throughout_years.png/280px-Natural_Growth_Rate_in_Lebanon_throughout_years.png 2x" data-file-width="837" data-file-height="622" /></a><figcaption>Natural Growth Rate in Lebanon throughout years</figcaption></figure> <p>The balance of power has been slightly adjusted in the 1943 <a href="/wiki/National_Pact" title="National Pact">National Pact</a>, an informal agreement struck at <a href="/wiki/Independence" title="Independence">independence</a>, in which positions of power were divided according to the 1932 census. The <a href="/wiki/Sunni_Islam_in_Lebanon" class="mw-redirect" title="Sunni Islam in Lebanon">Sunni</a> elite was then accorded more power, but Maronites continued to dominate the system. The sectarian balance was again adjusted towards the Muslim side but simultaneously further reinforced and legitimized. Shia Muslims (by now the second largest sect) then gained additional representation in the state apparatus, and the obligatory Christian-Muslim representation in <a href="/wiki/Lebanese_Parliament" class="mw-redirect" title="Lebanese Parliament">Parliament</a> was downgraded from a 6:5 to a 1:1 ratio. Christians of various denominations were then generally thought to constitute about 40% of the population, although often Muslim leaders would cite lower numbers, and some Christians would claim that they still held a majority of the population. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="18_recognized_religious_groups">18 recognized religious groups</h4><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Demographics_of_Lebanon&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: 18 recognized religious groups"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Lebanon_religious_groups.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/5b/Lebanon_religious_groups.jpg/140px-Lebanon_religious_groups.jpg" decoding="async" width="140" height="159" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/5b/Lebanon_religious_groups.jpg/210px-Lebanon_religious_groups.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/5b/Lebanon_religious_groups.jpg/280px-Lebanon_religious_groups.jpg 2x" data-file-width="534" data-file-height="606" /></a><figcaption>An estimate of the area distribution of Lebanon's main religious groups</figcaption></figure> <figure typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Lebanon_religious_groups_distribution.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/4f/Lebanon_religious_groups_distribution.jpg/140px-Lebanon_religious_groups_distribution.jpg" decoding="async" width="140" height="181" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/4f/Lebanon_religious_groups_distribution.jpg/210px-Lebanon_religious_groups_distribution.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/4f/Lebanon_religious_groups_distribution.jpg/280px-Lebanon_religious_groups_distribution.jpg 2x" data-file-width="2700" data-file-height="3484" /></a><figcaption>Distribution of Lebanon's religious groups according to 2009 municipal election data</figcaption></figure> <p>The present <a href="/wiki/Constitution_of_Lebanon" title="Constitution of Lebanon">Lebanese Constitution</a> officially acknowledges 18 religious groups (see below).

There are also a number of Palestinians who are not registered as UNRWA refugees, because they left earlier than 1948 or were not in need of material assistance. The exact number of Palestinians remain a subject of great dispute and the Lebanese government will not provide an estimate. A figure of 400,000 Palestinian refugees would mean that Palestinians constitute less than 7% of the resident population of Lebanon. </p><p>Palestinians living in Lebanon are considered foreigners and are under the same restrictions on employment applied to other foreigners. Prior to 2010, they were under even more restrictive employment rules which permitted, other than work for the U.N., only the most menial employment. Palestinian refugees, who constitute nearly 6.6% of the country's population, have long been denied basic rights in Lebanon. They are not allowed to attend public schools, own property or pass on inheritances, measures Lebanon says it has adopted to preserve their right to return to their property in what constitutes Israel now.<sup id="cite_ref-41" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-41"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>41<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Their presence is controversial, and resisted by large segments of the Christian population, who argue that the primarily Sunni Muslim Palestinians dilute Christian numbers. Many Shia Muslims also look unfavorably upon the Palestinian presence since the refugee camps have tended to be concentrated in their home areas. The Lebanese <a href="/wiki/Sunni_Islam_in_Lebanon" class="mw-redirect" title="Sunni Islam in Lebanon">Sunnis</a>, however, would be happy to see these Palestinians given the <a href="/wiki/Lebanese_nationality_law" title="Lebanese nationality law">Lebanese nationality</a>, thus increasing the Lebanese Sunni population by well over 10% and tipping the fragile electoral balance much in favor of the Sunnis. Late prime minister <a href="/wiki/Rafiq_Hariri" class="mw-redirect" title="Rafiq Hariri">Rafiq Hariri</a> —himself a Sunni— had hinted on more than one occasion on the inevitability of granting these refugees Lebanese citizenship. Thus far the refugees lack Lebanese citizenship as well as many rights enjoyed by the rest of the population, and are confined to severely overcrowded refugee camps, in which construction rights are severely constricted. </p><p>Palestinians may not work in a large number of professions, such as lawyers and doctors. However, after negotiations between Lebanese authorities and ministers from the <a href="/wiki/Palestinian_National_Authority" class="mw-redirect" title="Palestinian National Authority">Palestinian National Authority</a> some professions for Palestinians were allowed (such as taxi driver and construction worker). The material situation of the Palestinian refugees in Lebanon is difficult, and they are believed to constitute the poorest community in Lebanon, as well as the poorest Palestinian community with the possible exception of <a href="/wiki/Gaza_Strip" title="Gaza Strip">Gaza Strip</a> refugees.
