Does the ancient Egyptian religion still have followers?

score:15

Accepted answer

After the spread of Christianity, the Ancient Egyptian religion faded away. The last Egyptian temple was closed in the 6th Century AD by Byzantine emperor, Justinian. Although the old religion 'died' at the beginning of the middle ages, it still exists in different variations today. The most popular one is Kemetism, an Egyptian neopagan religion which wants to reconstruct Ancient Egyptian beliefs. That and similar religions are spread all over the world and in Egypt, but in very small numbers.

So the simple answer to your question is yes. The Ancient Egyptian religion still exists, but it doesn't have as many followers now and it has changed since.
