There is no name for religion within their own language. For the people of Egypt, there were no perceived differences between sacred and mundane actions, as we moderns believe there to be. Religion by definition is any system of belief, worship, and conduct, which often involves a code of ethics and philosophy.
Egyptian religion is a monotheistic religion.
The Egyptians regarded the universe as a conscious act of creation by the One Great God. Central to their complete understanding of the universe, was the knowledge that man was made in the image of God, and as such, man represented the created image of all creation. The Egyptian creation myths, regarding the universe, are similar to the account provided in the opening chapter of Genesis. God creates the heaven and earth, divides the waters, creates the light, and gives life to animals and man. Though all creation is spiritual in origin, man is born mortal but contains within himself the seed of the divine.
