The population in Bulkh are majority Muslim with 68% population professing that faith. Of those 59% are of the Sunni branch of Islam and 9% are of the Shia branch. There is a long history of sectarian violence between the two factions, which was exploited by the during the [[Burgoignesc South Levantine Trading Company|Bourgondii Royal Trading Company]] during the [[Burgoignesc colonial empire|Kandahari-Pukhtun colony and the Bulkhawan Presidency]]. The majority of Shia Muslims were pushed into newighboring [[Umardwal]] which is a majority Shia nation. In modern Bulkh, especially since secularization in the latter half of the 20th century, sectarian violence has almost entirely disappeared, but it does rear its ugly head when there are times of uncertainty and upheaval. | |||
Also as a result of [[Burgoignesc colonial empire|colonization]] there is a sizable Christian minority in Bulkh. The Calvinist faiths, predominately [[Merchantile Reform Protestantism]], because Bulkh was colonized as a [[Pharisedom]], are chief among them. However, there is a [[Catholic Church|Catholic]] populace in the country as well. | |||
