In other languages: TürkçeAlthough the former Ottoman Empire endorsed Islam as the state religion, Türkiye has been a secular state since 1928, with freedom of religion enshrined in its constitution. The population is 98% Muslim, most of them Turks, while Muslim Kurds constitute about 17% of the total population. Two-thirds of the Muslims in Türkiye belong to the Sunni branch of Islam, with the other third as Shiites. The Kurds are also Sunni Muslims.
Christians now make up less than 2% of the population; these include Greek Orthodox, Armenians (Gregorians,) Armenian Apostolic, Nestorians (Chaldeans), Syrian Uniats, Greek Uniats, Roman Catholics and Protestants. The Jews in Turkey number only some 20,000.
