State of Religion Report presents a comprehensive view of Religions in Egypt, examining their various institutional structures, codes of beliefs, interactions, and the role of religion as a behavioral determinant.
This analysis attempts to remove the misconceptions that have dominated the religious sphere in Egypt since the 1970s. This problem, of misconceptions, has led to a certain degree of sectarian tension, and even violence, and thus jeopardized the foundations of National Integration that had persisted since the Egyptian National Revolution of 1919.
The Report highlights both the historical background and the present status of Islamic and Christian institutions, religious symbols, religious trends and movements, on both the perceptual and the behavioral levels. In doing so, it attempts to shed light on the general rules and patterns of religious life in Egypt.
In addition to this macro-level analysis, the State of Religion Report introduces a micro-level analysis, focusing on religious institutional developments, interactions and symbols.
To achieve the utmost objectivity, the report adopts a double-level methodology; first, the informative level: which strictly surveys the relevant news, rhetoric, statistics, and laws. Second, the analytic level: which surveys the different opinions concerning the subject matter.
