Egypt Religion
Egypt is predominantly Muslim, covering about 93% of the population, while Christians represent about 7% (official figures put it as low as 3%) of the population. Of the Ancient egyptian religion no adherents still exist. Practically all Muslims are Sunni . The Christians are mainly Copts, divided into two groups, the one having close organizational ties to the Roman catholic church. There are other small Christian groups, standard Roman Catholics, Greek orthodox, and Armenian orthodox, in Alexandria and Cairo , whose adherents are mainly descendants of Italian, Greek, and Armenian immigrants.
