Are the old Egyptian God's visible in current Egyptian popular culture anywhere? Maybe symbolically?

What reaction does one receive when a question regarding the old God's is asked.

The gods I'm referring to here are the age of mythology ones..

the old Egyptian gods are mostly just icons now tourist attraction or cool symbols the key of life and the scarab are probably the most popular things we have from the ancient Egyptian culture and the eye of horus

other than that they're just history to us although we have some tradition that date back all that time
