In libya the religion is an overwhelming 97 Percent Islam. It is a Sunni Muslim nation. Although the majority is Sunni Muslims there are also Christian groups but these groups are mostly foreigners. "Nearly all Libyans adhere to the Sunni branch of Islam, which provides both a spiritual guide for individuals and a keystone for government policy"(Country Studies). Even Muslims that don't exactly believe in Islam still do what an Islam would do in terms of daily habits and the way they carry themselves.
