Religion in Tunisia

Religion in Tunisia (2022)
  1. Islam (99.0%)
  2. Christianity And Judaism (1.00%)

Islam is the most prevalent religion in Tunisia. In 2022, it was estimated that approximately 99% of Tunisia's inhabitants identified as Muslims. The country also includes Christian, Jewish, and Baháʼí communities. The 2022 Tunisian Constitution does not state Islam as the state religion and instead says that the country is part of the Islamic world.

The Constitution of Tunisia provides for freedom of religion, belief, and the freedom to practice the rites of one's religion unless they disturb the public order. The government does not permit the establishment of political parties on the basis of religion and prohibits efforts to proselytize. Although changing religions is legal, there is great societal pressure against Muslims who decide to leave Islam.
