History/Founder/ important persons/saints: Kemet is a religion of recent but unclear origin. It is an attempt to reconstruct ancient religious practices of Kemet (Egypt), in as much of a pure form as possible. Kemetic belief is Monolatrous- that is, they believe, like the ancients, that there is only one supreme God, who manifests in many aspects as the minor deities.
Current leader/governing body: Varies- many groups have formed and incorporated by consensus, but there is no central organization, and many solitary believers.
Number of Adherents: Unknown.
Clergy: Varies, depending on the group.
Requirements to join: None, membership is open in most groups to anyone interested, although some require an initiation.
Scripture: Traditional Egyptian writings, most notably the Book of the Dead.
Required observances, dietary restrictions: Vary widely.
Basic teachings and Beliefs: Beliefs and practices vary from group to group, but generally follow known Egyptian practice. The concept of Ma'at, or divine justice (similar to the Eastern philosophy of Karma), is a guiding principle.
