Egyptians no longer believe in the old gods and goddesses. Egypt was part of the Roman Empire, which in the late fourth century declared Christianity to be the state religion of the empire. Pagan worship was banned, and those who persisted in believing in the old gods were persecuted, until the religion died out. Later, the Muslims conquered Egypt, but tolerated the "People of the Book" - Jews and Christians - because they worshipped the same God as Islam.
