Religion in Yemen
Yemen is an Islamic society. 100% of Yemenis are Muslims, with approximately 56% Sunni Muslims, the majority belonging to the Shafi'i school of thought and approximately 44% Shia Muslims, the majority belonging to the Zaydi school of thought.〔http://gulf2000.columbia.edu/images/maps/Yemen_Ethno_Religious_summary_lg.png〕 There are also approximately 3,000 Christians, 100 Jews.
==Religious minorities==
Jews are the oldest Abrahamic religious minority. Nearly all of the country's once-sizable Jewish population has emigrated. Fewer than 400 Jews remain in the northern part of the country, primarily in Amran Governorate. Since January 2007, the historic Saada governorate community of 45 Jews have lived in Sana'a, under the protection and care of the Government, after abandoning their homes in the face of threats from al-Houthi rebels. The community has abandoned its synagogues in Saada. There is at least one functioning synagogue in Amran Governorate.〔United States Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor. (Yemen: International Religious Freedom Report 2008 ). 〕
There are 3,000 Christians throughout the country, most of whom are refugees or temporary foreign residents. There are four churches in Aden, three Roman Catholic and one Anglican.
Among religious minorities, approximately 25,000 Christians and most Jews actively participated in some form of formal religious service or ritual, although not always in a public place of worship.〔
