Irreligion in Egypt

Irreligion in Egypt is uncommon among Egyptians, as Islam is the predominant faith. It is difficult to quantify the number of atheists or agnostics in Egypt, as they are not officially counted in the census of the country. In December 2014 Dar al-Ifta, a government-affiliated Islamic centre of education and jurisprudence, claimed that there are 866 atheists in Egypt, which amounts to 0.001% of the population. There is a great stigma attached to being an atheist in Egypt, so many Egyptian atheists communicate with each other via the internet. In a 2011 Pew Research poll of 1,798 Muslims in Egypt, 63% of those surveyed supported "the death penalty for people who leave the Muslim religion." However, no such punishment actually exists in the country.
