How is religion in Egypt? Is it secular? Moderately secular? Are people very fundamentalist, or just a little? Is it ok to be an atheist? Do you have free speech?

Do you have white mummies or black mummies? And which ones are more likely to attack me?

I know someone who claims his family tree goes back to a pharaoh (I don't recall which one). Are the people in Cairo similarly interested in family trees and do they make similar claims ?
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

some are fundamentalists, but the government is putting control on them. IMO it's about your class, if you're middle class or lower, you're probably had a bad education and raised in a very religious family, and if you're otherwise, then most likely you're secular.

So, what do you expect will happen with the government of Egypt in the next few years? And what about Egyptian society in the next few years? Will there be unrest and disintegration of society? Are things going to work out well? And what do you expect will happen in the surrounding countries over the next few years?
