The worship of Aten, represented as the sun disk, was promoted by Pharaoh Akhenaten during the 14th century BCE as part of a radical religious reform that shifted focus from traditional polytheistic beliefs to a form of monotheism centered on Aten. This shift led to the establishment of a new capital, Akhetaten (modern Amarna), and the creation of a distinctive artistic style. The worship of Aten disrupted the established priesthoods and religious practices, causing social and political upheaval. After Akhenaten's death, Egypt largely reverted to its traditional polytheistic beliefs, with Aten's worship quickly diminishing.

In my opinion he made it stronger. He only reigned for a short period but changed his father's mistakes. Amenhotep IV / Akhenaten had changed all worship in Egypt from Amun to Aten.
