Orthodox Church, which is in Full communion with the Georgian, and the Armenian Apostolic Church have significant following within the city as well. A large
minority of the population (around 4%) practices Islam (mainly Shia
Islam). Judaism is also common, but to a lesser extent (about 2% of
Tbilisi's population practices Judaism).
Tbilisi has been historically known for religious
tolerance. This is especially evident in the city's
Old Town, where a mosque, synagogue, and Eastern
and Oriental Orthodox churches can all be
found within less than 500 meters (1,600 ft) from each other.
