Whereas a plethora of scholarly works examines the political implications of the 2011 Egyptian revolution (for example, see Cavorta and Merone, 2015; Esposito, Sonn and Voll, 2016; Milton-Edwards, 2016), this paper seeks to illuminate shifts in perception and practice of Islam among Egyptian youth over the past seven years and argues that an unprecedented transformative understanding of religion is well underway as a result and in the wake of a watershed political moment in Egyptian history. I conducted 60 structured interviews with Muslim Egyptians (ages 20 to 35) between 2018 and 2019 and found that young people are beginning to question, and in many cases challenge, the Islamic precepts they were raised with. The 2011 revolution put factions that may have never otherwise met in conversation with one another, offering Egyptians unprecedented freedom to discuss ideas and ideologies, and seemingly unfettered access to the political arena for all. In the process, however, people with religious capital often used religious discourse to bolster one political position or another, leading many to question these people’s authority. This, coupled with the rise and perceived failure of the Islamist government of the Muslim Brotherhood and their subsequent demise, led many of the youth to reevaluate the role of religion in politics. Disillusioned by these groups, young people have since reexamined the role the religion they grew up learning plays in their own lives. This ultimately led to a reversal of religious trends that emerged since the 1970s (such as the “Islamic Awakening” and the rise of “televangelists") and caused many youth to reconsider their need for guidance from religious figures, how and whether to embody the tradition and its teachings (Asad 1993, 2003), and, in some cases, their faith. I term the trend that allowed these shifts to occur “revolutionary religion”: a transformative engagement with the tradition and the ones who preach it made possible by the turbulent yet liberating post-revolutionary climate in Egypt.
