The people of the modern Palestinian territories of the Gaza Strip and West Bank are predominantly Muslim.
The Gaza Strip is over 99 per cent Muslim, principally Sunni.
The breakdown in the West Bank is approximately 75 per cent Muslim (principally Sunni), 17 per cent Jewish and 8 per cent Christian and others.
The proportion of Christians has fallen in recent years because of emigration due to the recent conflicts. The proportion of Jews has risen steadily because of more Israelis moving to the West Bank and a higher birthrate among West Bank Jews.
Palestinians are predominantly Muslim, particularly of the Sunni branch of Islam. Palestinian Christians represent a significant minority, followed by much smaller religious communities, including Druze and Samaritans. Islam makes up over 95% of the population.
The majority of Palestinians are Muslim, but there is a significant minority of various christian denominations.
Palestine is a large area in the Middle East. There are people of many religions living there. e.g. Judaism, Islamic, Christian (Orthodox, Catholicism, Protestantism), Druze, Bahá'i.)
'Palestinian' means an inhabitant of Palestine and the term has no religious connotation. Residents of the Gaza Strip are Muslims.
------------------------
Palestinians are majority Muslim, with a substantial minority of Christians. Arguably, before the advent of Zionism, the Jewish minority also saw themselves as Palestinians. In recent decades, most Christians have fled the Palestinian territories because of the hardships and dangers consequent on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, leaving a more completely Muslim remainder.
Some Palestinians are Christians and some are Muslims. Because Christian refugees are more readily accepted in Western countries, most Palestinian Christians were able to flee the Israeli incursions and now live overseas. The great majority of Palestinians now living in the Palestinian territories are Muslims.
While the term "Palestinian" is a national/ethnic term and has no direct religious connotations, the overwhelming majority (>90%) of Palestinians worldwide are SUNNI MUSLIMS. There are minorities of Christian, Druze, Samaritan, and Bahá'i Palestinians. Of these, Christian Palestinians are the most numerous, but still only compose 6.5% of the worldwide Palestinian population and over half of them live outside of the Middle East region.
Most Palestinians are Sunni Muslims with a minority of Christians.
