As a result of the increased violence against Christians in Egypt since 2010, a significant number of Christians have fled Egypt in the last few years, making current estimates difficult. In 2010, there were approximately 8 million Egyptian Christians. Various groups estimate that between 1-2 million of those have since left.

How did Egypt become Islamic?

Christians in Egypt were minority and were under the excessive aggression and control of the Byzantine rulers who were opposing their faith. They asked rescue of the Muslim Caliph Omar for their knowing of his justice. Then Muslims invaded Egypt and conquered the Romans and give freedom to the Christians to practice their religion rituals in public and not secretly as it was during the Roman occupation to Egypt. Through hundreds of years, many Egyptians converted to Islamic faith and till now you find many families partly Muslims and partly Christians.


How many Christians are there in Egypt?

It is estimated that about 10% of the population of Egypt is Christians. Most of these belong to the Coptic Orthodox Church. This Church is very old, and can reasonably date its history back to the first century AD, although only the second century is well attested. There are also Catholics and Protestant congregations in Egypt as well. Both the percentage and the total number are difficult to establish; however, at 10% that would make about 8 million Christians in Egypt.
