Egyptian Religion Now

94% of Egypt's religion now is Muslim and about 6% is Coptic Christian.  Muslim is a religion who submits themselves to god.  They believe that Muhammad is the "seal of the prophets" and believe that gods is one and the same throughout time.  Muslims recognize sages such as Abraham, Moses, and Jesus, but reject the belief that Jesus is the son of God.  They believe in a hell and heaven, general resurrection, eternal life of a soul, and guardian angels.  Many Coptic Christian's believe in Pharaonism, which says that the coptic religion is mainly derived from pre-Christian and Pharaonic culture.
