(Worthy News) – It is estimated that there are around 1.2 million Christians living in Saudi Arabia, although citizens’ conversion from Islam to Christianity is punishable by death, Christian Headlines reports. Most believers in Saudi Arabia are Filipino expatriates who are allowed to work in the country, but are not citizens.
All citizens of Saudi Arabia are at least officially Muslim: Saudi law does not permit citizens to follow other faiths. A form of religious police, the Saudi Committee for the Promotion of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice works to ensure citizens do not practice any religion other than Islam.
