Even smaller regional Abrahamic groups also exist, including [[Samaritanism]] (primarily in Israel and the [[State of Palestine]]), the [[Rastafari movement]] (primarily in Jamaica), and [[Druze]] (primarily in [[Druze in Syria|Syria]], [[Druze in Lebanon|Lebanon]], and [[Druze in Israel|Israel]]).
