A majority of Rusana's population adheres to Islam, approximately 84% of the population answered in the affirmative if they practiced the religion in the last census. Of said percentage approximately 62% belong to the Shia school and 38% belong to the Sunni school. Since the end of the civil war, Islam has been recognized as the official state religion and gets important financial endowments thanks to this status. After Islam, Christianity is the second largest religious group, amounting to roughly 13% of the population. Christianity is predominantly practiced by people belonging to ethnic minority groups such as the Kassar people(who are exclusively Christian), the Tauqi and Yue. Christianity is a recognized minority religion and has protected status in Rusana. | |||
