Church Gists
See The Only Country in the World Without A Church
A church is a building that Christians use for worship. There are two main groups of churches in the world that is the Catholic church and the Protestants. The two groups have built many churches around the world since the early 19th century. Every country in the world has a church except just one country that is highly inhibited by Muslims. In this piece am going to share with you the name and more details about the only country in the world without an official church.
Saudi Arabia is the only country in the world that does not have a single church despite the country having approximately 1.8 million Christians. Christians living or working in Saudi Arabia are always facing discrimination from the Muslims and also the authorities. Despite all these discriminations millions of Christians travel to Saudi Arabia each year in search of jobs and a better life. There are no churches in this country.

It is the largest country in the Middle East, home to more than 35 million people. In total, there are 190 countries on the planet. Approximately 2,150,000 square kilometers make up this country, making it the largest in West Asia and the second-largest Arab country after Algeria.
Muslims in Saudi Arabia only believe in Prophet Muhammad and believe that Mecca is the holiest place on earth because it’s the birthplace of Prophet Muhammad. This is the main reason why they have built at least two Meccas in each district. There are about 1 million Roman Catholics in the Arabian state, and they do not discriminate.
Therefore, Christians are permitted to work in Saudi Arabia, but they are not permitted to practice Christianity openly. This means that Christians in Saudi Arabia are permitted to worship God in the privacy of their residences rather than in public.
