Holy shit, I've never met a Christian in turkey before, which city? Antakya? Izmir? Antalya? God, if only turkey didn't genocide pontic greeks and armenians
Is it legal to not be a Muslim in Saudi Arabia? I thought it was a crime unless one had special dispensation (typically granted to foreign advisors and such).
Yes, it is legal. There are many christians in Saudi Arabia, for example. What is usually illegal is public religious practices of religions other than Islam.
OP, can you clarify your title, it doesn't make much sense. Jewish, Muslim, and Christianity are all Abrahamic Faith's, with the same 1 God. They differ beyond that it terms of the messiah and prophets. Other faiths especially in that region have been (mostly) wiped out due to Christian or Muslim holy wars.

This is why the whole "you'll go to hell if you don't believe in us" thing never really sat well with me.

What if I told you all these religions point to the same beings and same truths?

I would answer by telling you that their books describe it all differently

That's because they are to meet people where they are, not were, could be, are going to be.

You're probably thinking of apostasy. You can be any religion, but if you're Islamic and renounce it, capital offense.

Is there a particular reason why Cyprus is such an outlier for being much more Christian?

I would think it has to do with the large Greek population?
