What was the dominant religion of Egypt?

Answer 1

Answer 1

They were believing in one God but under different names and teachings. Then some Egyptians at a later stage started believing in Christianity; but secretly to avoid the tyranny of the Romans; and offered shelter to Jesus (PBIH) and the Virgin Mary.

Answer 2

The Ancient Egyptian religion was polytheistic with many gods like Anubis, Osiris, Amun Ra, etc. This paganism persisted until the Roman Empire. At that point, Egyptians became cultist, which is to say that they would choose a god from the Roman or Egyptian pantheon and worship that god over the other gods. It did not indicate any form of monotheism (since there was no denial of the other gods existence). In the 300s, Rome became a Christian Empire and this led to general persecution of pagans and cultists. Under Roman and later Byzantine Rule, Egypt became dominantly Coptic Christian. When the Muslim armies under Caliph Omar conquered Egypt, it began a mass conversion to Islam. The first dominant Muslim faith in Egypt was the Kharijite Faith, followed by Shiite Islam, and after the 1200s was Sunni Islam.
