"While the overwhelming majority of the population of the Middle Eastern region, and, in particular, the countries of the Arab world, are identified as adherents of Islam, the vast majority of Arab-Americans in the US are Christian, not Muslim. Christians account for 77% of the Arab-American population, while Muslims account for 23%. The largest Arab-American religious community is comprised by Maronite Roman Catholics (Eastern Rite) who account for 42%, followed by Orthodox Christians and Muslims, each accounting for 23% of the Arab-American population. Protestant Christians are the smallest religious grouping, accounting for 12% of all Arab-Americans."
