Best Answer

The majority of modern Egyptians are Sunni Muslims. The remainder, between 5% and 20% of the population are members of the Coptic Orthodox Church of Alexandria. Other Christian sects may bring this up to 15% and 20% of a total population of 80 million Egyptians.

It is a fact that the ancient Egyptians worshiped gods and goddesses in their religion, but that religion has since all but died out along with Egypt as it was before the Romans.

What religion do Egyptians believe?

In modern Egypt Islam is the leading religion. There is also a considerable population of Christians, principally members of the Coptic Orthodox Church. Prior to 1948, there was also a noteworthy population of Jewish, but almost all followers of Judaism have now immigrated to Israel. In ancient times, Egyptians followed the Egyptian pagan religion, which was a quite complex, syncretistic religion with many gods. This gradually disappeared from the late fourth century onwards because of Roman imperial support for Christianity.
