∙ 7y agoancient Egypt was mainly polytheistic, though some Pharaohs strongly promoted the worship of a particular god to the exclusion of others (example: King Tut's father, Akhenaten, introduced a system that essentially continued to recognize the other traditional gods, but regarded only a single god ... Aten ... as worthy of worship; this is called monolatrism and isn't quite the same thing as monotheism but is close). Typically, these departures from polytheism did not last more than a generation or two.
Modern Egypt is about 90% Muslim with the remaining 10% being mostly Christian ... both monotheistic religions.
