Religion is everywhere. ... The ancient Egyptian religion dominated during that time. The Egyptian relgion was a religion based on the belief of many gods and according to the Egyptians, everything revolved around the praising and sacrificing that took place for the gods. Concerned with the religion in their everyday lives, rather than a separation of religious and secular spheres, the dominant Egyptians claimed original beliefs of creation and polytheism and their view of the afterlife with a value of integration of religion and life. ...
The Egyptians maintained core beliefs of creation and multiple gods and their view of the afterlife and had a value of mixing religion and life. All of their beliefs came solely from the doctrine of their religion. ... The Egyptians were polytheistic in contrast to a modernly prominent, monotheistic religion such as Judaism. ... The “Book of the Dead” holds the Egyptians’ major beliefs and ideas about the afterlife in their religion. Their religion stressed the afterlife and Egyptians devoted much time and wealth to preparing for the survival in the next world (1). ... The main Egyptian value is that the Egyptians’ religion dominated all aspects of their lives (1). There was no “indigenous name” for religion in the Egyptian language. Their language did not need a name since religion dominated all aspects of their life (2). The Egyptians’ value of undefined separation between their religious and personal lives is quite similar to Judaism since Jews are supposed to uphold the values taught in religion everyday and the Orthodox Jews say traditional prayers all the time.
