Egyptian religion is a polytheistic complex system of beliefs.  There were the system of the gods and the system of man. Pharaohs ruled the people with a divine power given to him by the gods because of his position. One area of Egyptian religion that seems out of place is that the people could have a unique, personally connection with the gods. This connection with the supreme beings is odd for a religion where they saw their gods with so much power.

Around 3000 B.C. is where the growth of this religion really took off and formed deep roots in the Egyptian people. However those beliefs and practices, such as animal sacrifice,  oracles, temple worship, and feasts are now seen as folklore. The decline in these beliefs were do to Egypt being overtake by the Roman Empire. The role of Pharaoh decline and Egyptians long established religious beliefs were lost.

One of the biggest religious practices that the Egyptians prided themselves on was the afterlife. Large pyramids or burial chambers were made and filled with the most elaborate items for when the person reached the afterlife. This body after death was mummified and placed in these grand tombs and a great ceremony was given on behalf of the dead. The problem with this belief is not the fact that their is an afterlife, because that is true, however they believed one could take all their possessions and body with them when they go. This is the reason for their mummification and their tomb being filled with elaborate items.

Christianity had a tremendous impact on the Egyptian religion. In Exodus 7-11 God used his tool, Moses, to condemn Egypt for disobeying. Accordingly the ten plagues were inflicted upon Egypt. Moses spoke the words of God and gave the Pharaoh and the Egyptian people the chance to let God's people go, and time after time they refused. Moses showed the powers of God by inflicted Egypt with these plagues but there was no impact. Egypt was to deeply rooted in her religious ways to ever convert to Christianity.
