Historically, Egyptians were polytheists who worshipped Pharaoh and other Egyptian gods. By the mid-400s BCE, most Egyptians had begun to worship the Greek gods. By the mid-400s CE, most Egyptians were Coptic Christian. During the 800s and 900s CE a large percentage of Egyptians converted to Islam.

Today, Egypt is roughly 90% Sunni Muslim and 10% Coptic Christian.

Those, in Egypt, who worship Jesus are a very small percentage of the population of that country. The vast majority of Egyptians are Muslim. The Christians in Egypt, called the Coptics have been, for centuries, persecuted and marginalized by the greater Muslim population.

If you mean in modern times, then there are several religions that worship the Netjeru (The Egyptian Gods and Goddesses). There are Kemetic Reconstructionists;who practice as closely as possible to the old ways, there are various Kemetic Wiccan groups, who are Wiccans using a strictly Egyptian panthenon in their ritual and prayers, the are Kemetic Pagans, of varying types, and there are some who believe the ancient Egyptian Gods can only be worshipped by those who are decended from the original worshippers, and consider non Africans to be appropriating the faith.
