In modern Egypt Islam is the leading religion. There is also a considerable population of Christians, principally members of the Coptic Orthodox Church. Prior to 1948, there was also a noteworthy population of Jewish, but almost all followers of Judaism have now immigrated to Israel.
In ancient times, Egyptians followed the Egyptian pagan religion, which was a quite complex, syncretistic religion with many gods. This gradually disappeared from the late fourth century onwards because of Roman imperial support for Christianity.
If you are referring to ancient Egypt, there was a large variety of religions to many different gods.
