Most of Medan’s inhabitants are Muslim, accounting for approximately 66% of the population. The substantial Christian demographic (about 25% of the total population) includes Catholics, Methodists, Lutherans, and the Batak Christian Protestant Church. Buddhists make up about 9% of the population, and there are smaller Hindu, Confucian, and Sikh communities.
«Пришлец, который будет жить с вами, да будет вам, как пришелец среди вас, и любите его, как самого себя, ибо вы были пришельцами в земле Египетской; Я Господь, твой Бог».
