As part of its series looking at Christians in the Middle East, the BBC News website spoke to six young Lebanese Christians.
Most of Lebanon's Christians are Maronite, a sect of Syrian origin which is named after the 4th Century Christian hermit St Maron. The church united with the Catholic Church in 1736, although it retains its own traditions and practices.
There is also a sizable Greek Orthodox community along with a host of other denominations.
Relations between Christians and Muslims had calmed since the country's bloody civil war, however tensions have increased in 2005 following the assassination of former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri.
We asked our panel about their faith and the future of Christians, both in Lebanon and in the troubled Middle East region.
