Based on analysis through the lens of Laclau and Mouffe’s discourse theory, this article demonstrates how the theory is applicable to the complex situation of Christian and Muslim relations in Egypt. It argues that although the discourse of national unity remains dominant after the 2011 Egyptian Revolution, the humanist voice has become more vocal under the spirit of revolutionary fervor. Moreover, after the overthrow of the Muslim Brotherhood’s friendly regime, the religious discourse has been significantly toned down. With an emphasis on more inclusive national unity, an increasing number of Egyptians are inclined towards more fully embracing diversity in their society, paving the way for improving interfaith relations and peaceful coexistence of both faiths. In summary, from the perspective of interfaith relations, this article examines the intertwining of national discourse, religious discourse, and humanist discourse in Egyptian society
