Despite Egypt's formal position as a secular state, Islamic principles regarding the law, politics, and social customs continue to impact Egypt's laws and political interactions. 90% of Egyptians identify as Muslims, the bulk of whom practice the Sunni branch of Islam. The remaining populace is made up of 9% Coptic Orthodox Christians and 1% members of other Christian denominations. These figures provide a general picture of Egypt's religious landscape, but there are also a small but increasing number of atheists and nonbelievers, as well as some who consider themselves Muslim by birth but not by adherence.

Religion-related disparities frequently cause social tension. There may be discrimination against adherents of minority faiths, and occasionally there may be conflicts between the minority Coptic Christians and the Muslim majority. Families may also dissuade or forbid interfaith marriage or conversion. Although relations are usually respectful, many Egyptians do not always consider the differences between their religious affiliations when interacting with others. Christians and Muslims do not live separately in Egypt, with Coptic Christian communities strewn throughout the Muslim population. Everyday expressions of reverence towards their faith are prevalent among both religious groups and, at the general level, many religious values are shared, such as compassion towards others and devotion to their God.]]> 2023-03-20 20:23:11 UTC https://padlet.com/keilove762/qsbsttp94hxfrt54/wish/2524230621 keilove762 https://padlet.com/keilove762/qsbsttp94hxfrt54/wish/2524236640 Ancient Egyptian culture was based on Egyptian legend from at least 4000 BCE (as shown by burial customs and tomb paintings) until Cleopatra VII, the last monarch of the Ptolemaic Dynasty of Egypt died in 30 BCE.

The myths about how the world was created and how the gods maintained it informed every aspect of ancient Egyptian existence. Through trade, Egyptian religion spread to other cultures. It was particularly well-known after the Silk Road was opened in 130 BCE when the Egyptian port city of Alexandria served as an important commercial hub.

Egyptian mythology was influential in the creation of the ideas of benevolent deities, reincarnation, and an afterlife that is eternal. Reincarnation practices in Egypt are said to have affected Pythagoras and Plato of Greece, and Roman religious culture borrowed heavily from Egypt and other cultures.]]> 2023-03-20 20:29:49 UTC https://padlet.com/keilove762/qsbsttp94hxfrt54/wish/2524236640 keilove762 https://padlet.com/keilove762/qsbsttp94hxfrt54/wish/2524241123 According to the Egyptians, the journey started with the creation of the world and the universe out of darkness and swirling chaos. There was once nothing but endless dark water with no shape or purpose. Heka (the god of magic) existed with Tefnut. (goddess of moisture, whom Atum vomited out). n this void and awaited the time of creation. Out of this watery stillness (Nu) arose the primordial hill known as the ben-ben, atop which stood the great deity Atum. (or, in some versions of the myth, Ptah). Atum saw the nothingness and realized he was alone, so he mated with his own shadow to give rise to two children, Shu (god of air, whom Atum spat out) and Tefnut (goddess of moisture, whom Atum vomited out). Shu contributed the principles of life to the early world, while Tefnut added the principles of order.

They went out to establish the world, leaving their father on the ben-ben. Atum became concerned because his children had been missing for so long, so he removed his eye and sent it in pursuit of them. Atum sat alone on the hill in the middle of chaos while his eye was gone, contemplating eternity. Shu and Tefnut returned with the eye of Atum (later associated with the Udjat eye, the Eye of Ra, or the All-Seeing Eye), and their father shed tears of joy, thankful for their safe return. Men and women were born from the tears that fell onto the dark, fertile soil of the ben-ben.]]> 2023-03-20 20:34:51 UTC https://padlet.com/keilove762/qsbsttp94hxfrt54/wish/2524241123 keilove762 https://padlet.com/keilove762/qsbsttp94hxfrt54/wish/2524241671 2023-03-20 20:35:28 UTC https://padlet.com/keilove762/qsbsttp94hxfrt54/wish/2524241671 keilove762 https://padlet.com/keilove762/qsbsttp94hxfrt54/wish/2524249249 1.
