with the coming of Islam to Egypt in the late 600's AD, most Egyptians soon converted from Christianity to Islam. Some Jews living in Egypt remained Jewish, and some of the Christians remained Christian - these Egyptian Christians are called the Copts, today. But since 700 AD most people in Egypt have followed the Islamic faith.

Islam is the main religion of Egypt!
According to the constitution, any new legislation must implicitly agree with Islamic (Arabic: اÙإسÙاÙ
) laws. Egypt is predominantly Muslim, at approximately 90% of the population, with the majority being adherents of the Sunni branch of Islam [2]. Christians represent about 10% of the population, with the largest being the Coptic denomination at 9%, while the remaining 1% include Catholics, Greek Orthodox, Syriac Orthodox, and Armenian Orthodox, largely found in Alexandria and Cairo.
There also remains a small Jewish community, of an estimated three hundred Egyptians.

Nowadays it's Islam; before the last dynasty "fell", it was their own polytheistic religion.
