Contradiction: Percentage of muslims

The (referenced) claims in this article on the number of muslims and Christians in Tunisia slightly contradict those in the CIA fact book, which claims only 98% muslims and 1%, not 0,3% (25,000/9,800,000), of Christian religion. Which source should we consider more reliable? --Roentgenium111 (talk) 16:56, 11 April 2011 (UTC)

Percentage of Muslims

Other statistic says that only 75% of Tunisians are religious, so, why CIA factbook (old) and other sources says that percentage of Muslims is between 95% and 98% ? Also, CIA FactBook is not updated, and it uses old data.

It's very strange even in Saudi it's has been updated to somewhere like 93% and not including those who no longer identify as Muslim Nlivataye (talk) 08:02, 8 October 2022 (UTC)

Percentage of Religions in Tunisia

The CIA World Factbook or other sources presenting these numbers (very imprecise by the way), are not acceptable sources. Indeed their data are themselves from the Tunisian government who never conducted a study or census to obtain them. According to their method, all citizens born from parents considered as muslims are themselves considered as such, which exclude of course agnostics, atheists, converts etc... That are nowadays constitutional rights. In this case, we must reference a serious scholar study about this subject for it to be credible. Instead of giving numbers we do not have, It was planned to replace rates to formulas such as "We consider that the majority". We had already approved of that on the "Religion en Tunisie" French page, so we started cleaning the errors on the other language's pagesTounsimentounes (talk) 17:49, 17 September 2015 (UTC)
