Practically all of them are muslims. The country allows religious minorities such as Christians and Hindus to enter the country as temporary workers, but does not allow them to practice their faiths. The U.S. State departments suggest that there are 500,000 to 1 million people there who adhere to the Catholic faith

There are 27,000,000 people in Saudi Arabia - 20,000,000 Saudi Arabian citizens and 7 million immigrants.
Islam is the only legal religion in Saudi Arabia, but there are some Christians and Buddhists among the immigrant population. Non Muslims are not allowed to practice their faith in Saudi Arabia.

Saudi Arabia has roughly 27,000,000 people, of which roughly 99.999% are Muslim. In Saudi Arabia they have zero tolerance for other religious practices, making it agianst the law to even own a Bible. And, since a Muslim renouncing their religion is punishable by death, there aren't too many converts away from Islam there.
There are no legal churches in Saudi Arabia, and certainly no synagogues. It is the epitome of Muslim intolerance in the world today.

I think ten millions. Are you joking ? All of them are Muslims and furthermore no religious buildings other than mosques are allowed to be built there ! There are also six million guest workers and I think they must all be Muslims too except for the higher educated guest workers, whom they need like doctors, professors, nurses, therapists, dentists etc. who can usually be non-Muslims.
