Have you ever wondered if it is possible that, with the popularity of Christianity and its mass number of members, there can be a country that has no single church?
If not, then fasten your seat belts as I take you on this journey to find out this fact.
The question is: which country in the world of over 190 will have no church in it? The answer is Saudi Arabia. The Western Asian country is the only country in the world where there is no single church.
This country, consisting of the bulk of the Arabian Peninsula, with a land area of approximately 2,150,000 km2, is geographically the largest sovereign state in West Asia and the second largest in the Arab world after Algeria.
Being an Islamic country, they have their beliefs in Prophet Muhammad, and Mecca is their main place of worship. Mecca is the holiest of places in the country as it is the birthplace of the Prophet Muhammad and the Islamic faith itself; hence, you can find at least two to three (2–3) in every district of the country.
The thing is this: it’s not that there are no Christians in the country; there are a lot of Christians in the Arabian state, with over 1 million Roman Catholic members, which means that they don’t discriminate, hence Christians are welcomed in the country, but only for work purposes and not for their faith and practices in the open, which means Christians in Saudi Arabia can worship their God from the comfort of their own homes.
There you have it, and you now know that Saudi Arabia is the only country in the world that doesn’t have a church in their country for now, though Christians are still hoping for a church to be erected on Saudi soil one day.
