The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan is a majority Muslim country with 96% of the population following Sunni Islam while a small minority follow Shiite branches. There are also about 20,000 to 32,000 Druze living mostly in the north of Jordan, even though most Druze no longer consider themselves Muslim.[1][2] Many Jordanian Muslims practice Sufism.
The 1952 Constitution grants freedom of religion while stipulating that the king and his successors must be Muslims and sons of Muslim parents.[3] Religious minorities include Christians of various denominations (1%) and even fewer adherents of other faiths.[citation needed] Jordan is a religious and conservative country.[4]
