Monotheists in the context of Druze in Lebanon

The Lebanese Druze (Arabic: دروز لبنان, romanizeddurūz lubnān) are an ethnoreligious group constituting about 5.2 percent of the population of Lebanon. They follow the Druze faith, which is an esoteric monotheistic Abrahamic religion originating from the Levant. They identify as unitarians (Arabic: موحدين, romanizedmuwaḥḥidīn).

There are estimated to be fewer than 1 million Druze worldwide. The Druze, who refer to themselves as al-Muwahhideen (monotheists), or "believers in one God," are concentrated in the rural, mountainous areas east and south of Beirut. Lebanon has the world's second-largest Druze population, after Syria.
