Fun Fact: Most Arab Americans are Christian. Only 24% are Muslim.
Are you surprised?
It's like that for every country in the Americas except for Canada probably, so no.

we have a lot of Lebanese and christian Palestinians, not a really big surprise

>America is a country with very ungenerous gibs compared to Western Europe
>The ones that end up there mostly want to escape from Muslims
Yeah, not surprised. Europe always gets the short end of the stick in terms of migration.

most Chinese Americans are Catholics, only 1% are Buddhists, I guess
>>76082262
no
religious minorities flee their country more than the majority
it's like how 99% of successful Hungarian Americans are Jews, partly due to fleeing religious persecution and partly due to high Jewish intelligence and low Hungarian intelligence
>>76082262
Not really.
America is the Land of the Free, it makes sense that oppressed Christians would flee there.

>protestant 10%
Why? There are practically no Protestants in the Middle East
>Christianity divided into three separate denominations
>Islam held as one, solid block of faith

Solid? Dude... They fucking exterminate eachother over minor differences.

Lots of converts. Our Protestant churches, especially the Baptists, tend to work very hard to convert people, and if you live in certain parts of the South being part of a church is an easy way to fit in with your peers.

>Islam held as one, solid block of faith
Muslims literally beheaded the sons of Muhammad more than 1000 years ago over a religious dispute. The sons of Muhammad, their Prophet. They have been slaughtering one another for almost their entire history, and the hatred between Sunni and Shia is still strong to this day (not to mention all the other branches of Islam, like whatever the fuck the Yemenis are).

Maybe converts or people who are partly Arab
central america is close to 30% protestant because of the activity of american protestant missionaries, mainly pentecostals, the talking in voices type.
here they are 10% of the population, and close to the number of actual practicing catholics. only 10-15% of the population here is made of practicing catholics. the rest only goes to church when someone is born (baptized), gets married, or dies.
