I found this online:::::
Egyptian religion never constituted a single orientation, it was always number of cults and orientations. These cults and orientations shared a world view of fairly similar ideas. They focused on the stability of the universe, there was little belief in a continuous change.
Ancient Egyptian religion was to a great extent science, law, ethics and philosophy operating together inside the same framework. Contrary to modern religion, it was impossible to act outside the religion, as the religion was the foundation for ideas and acts of all human beings.
Towards the end of its period, Ancient Egyptian religion started to interact with religious beliefs from other parts of the Mediterranean Sea, and Egyptian religion saw several parallel and competing orientations pop up, as well as strong changes of the orthodox creed over time.
MYTHS
Before creation there was only sea. Re, the sun-god, came out of an egg or a flower, and from him other deities came. One deity became the earth, another the sky, a third the god of the dead etc. In certain regions, other gods were honored for the creation of cosmos, like Ptah was in Memphis, the sun in Heliopolis and Hermopolis, and Khnum on the island of Elephantine.
The main myth of Egypt was the one of Osiris, Isis and Horus, telling about the murder and rebirth of Osiris and the revenge by his son Horus. The story tells about the cycle of nature and its fertility, it tells about the unity of Egypt and it works as an explanation of the sacred kingship.

Actually, it depends on the timeframe you want to know about.
The Ancient Egyptians had many deities. Horus, Ra, and a host of others I've forgotten. However, they also had a One-God concept at one point. If you're talking currently, I believe they are mostly Muslim.
