Ancient Egyptian religion was a complex system of polytheistic beliefs and rituals that formed an integral part of ancient Egyptian society. It centered on the Egyptians' interactions with many deities believed to be present in, and in control of the world.

Some theologians think that Egypt was moving towards a monotheistic faith in a single creator, symbolized by the sun god.
