"The number of Christians in Lebanon has been disputed for many years. There has been no official census in Lebanon since 1932. Many argue over the percentage and population of Christians in Lebanon. The most common estimate of Christianity in Lebanon is about 40%. It has the largest percentage of Christians of all the Arab nations." -- Wiki
