No. There are many Christians in Lebanon.

Demographics

See also: Demographics of Lebanon
The number of Christians in Lebanon has been disputed for many years. There has been no official census in Lebanon since 1932. But official records confirm that in 1926 when the state of Lebanon was officially announced and recognised by the allies the Christians formed 84% of the population. Many argue over the percentage and population of Christians in Lebanon. One estimate of the Christian share of Lebanon’s population as of the late 2000s is 39%.[7] The country has the largest percentage of Christians of all the Middle Eastern nations.

That’s good news, but from the decreasing numbers, you can tell that Egypt is not the only area of the ME where Christians are being pushed out.
