What is "multiconfessionalism"

Multiconfessionalism describes the existence, acceptance, or promotion of multiple religious traditions within a single jurisdiction, usually considered in terms of religion associated with a state. It is used when describing countries with three or more significant confessional groups.

Examples of modern countries deemed multiconfessional are Lebanon and Bosnia and Herzegovina. The " National Pact" is an unwritten agreement that laid the foundation of Lebanon as a confessionalist state, having shaped the country to this day; state offices are divided between the major ethno-religious groups.
