    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.

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