Which are the mainstream religions in Egypt, apart from Islam? Roughly how many people follow each religion?
Egypt’s population is estimated at around 82million. Islam (mostly Sunni) is the largest religion in Egypt. The rough percentage of Islam is near to 94% of the population. Which equates to around 77 million people. Secondly COPTIC Christianity is the second largest religion, occupying about 5% of the population. Which equates to around 4 million people. The remaining percentage is a mix of other religions. Probably about one million people. Although out of these 1million people, the post popular religeon is possibly Ba’hai. And you will be very hard pressed to find an atheist there who is not a tourist.
