It is estimated that about 10% of the population of Egypt is Christians. Most of these belong to the Coptic Orthodox Church. This Church is very old, and can reasonably date its history back to the first century AD, although only the second century is well attested. There are also Catholics and Protestant congregations in Egypt as well.
Both the percentage and the total number are difficult to establish; however, at 10% that would make about 8 million Christians in Egypt.
Islam is Egypt's main religion although there are some Christians
Christians in Egypt were minority and were under the excessive aggression and control of the Byzantine rulers who were opposing their faith. They asked rescue of the Muslim Caliph Omar for their knowing of his justice. Then Muslims invaded Egypt and conquered the Romans and give freedom to the Christians to practice their religion rituals in public and not secretly as it was during the Roman occupation to Egypt. Through hundreds of years, many Egyptians converted to Islamic faith and till now you find many families partly Muslims and partly Christians.
For the whole of Egypt... Coptic Christian and other - 6-10%.
Although Egypt is a Muslim country, it does have a substantial minority of Christians, known as Coptic Christians, who make up roughly 10% of the Egyptian population, and who, naturally, celebrate Christmas, as Christians normally do.
