Christians in Morocco constitute approximately less than 1%〔(The World Factbook - Morocco )〕 (less than 336,000) of the country's population of 33,600,000 (2014 census). Most of them are Catholic and Protestants. The U.S. State Department estimates the number of Moroccan Christians at between 5,000 and 25,000.〔International Religious Freedom Report - US Department of State http://www.state.gov/j/drl/rls/irf/religiousfreedom/index.htm#wrapper〕 Pew-Templeton estimates the number of Moroccan Christians at 20,000. 〔Pew-Templeton - Global Religious Futures http://www.globalreligiousfutures.org/countries/morocco#/?affiliations_religion_id=0&affiliations_year=2010®ion_name=All%20Countries&restrictions_year=2013〕 ==Problematic characteristics== Article 3 of the Moroccan constitution "guarantees to all the free exercise of beliefs", but the Moroccan criminal code prohibits conversions to other religions than Islam. Conversions of Muslims to Christianity (either proselytization or apostasy) were often in colonial period because laws against such conversions didn't exist yet. According to Article 220 of the Moroccan Penal Code, "anyone who employs incitements to shake the faith of a Muslim or to convert him to another religion" incurs a sentence of 3 to 6 months' imprisonment and a fine of $16 to $79 (115 to 575 dirhams). Any attempt to induce a Muslim to convert is illegal. Foreign missionaries either limit their proselytizing to non-Muslims or attempt to conduct their work discreetly. In spite of these limitations, a 2015 study estimates some 3,000 believers in Christ from a Muslim background.
