A:

The ancient Egyptian gods continued to be worshipped by the majority of Egyptians until the end of the first century, when Christianity was declared the religion of the Roman Empire, after which those Egyptians who had not already become Jews of Christians converted to Christianity amost immediately.

Even before the time of Christ, some Christians had begun to look favourably on the Jewish religion, with which they had long been familiar. By the first century CE, the city of Alexandria is estimated to have had a Jewish population of around one million, many of whom would have been converts or descendants of converts. The reason for this high rate of conversion to Judaism is unclear, but it was parallelled elsewhere around the Roman Empire. Many of these Jews and their descendants went on to become Christians, and now most of their descendants are Muslims.
