Religion in Egypt
Religion in Egypt
Egypt is a majority Islamic country. Most Egyptian Muslims identify with the Sunni tradition, as do most countries of Islamic majority elsewhere in the Middle East and the world.
The presence of Christianity in Egypt dates back to the time of Christ and there are even traditions of some of the original apostles ministering in Egypt (e.g. Mark the Evangelist). The Christian cross may have been adopted by Egyptian Christians from the ancient Egyptian ankh symbol.
