What role did the belief in gods play in egyptian society?

Gods often linked to nature in Egyptian mythology. They were human like, they had emotions like a human would and resembled them. They believed strongly in these gods, so strongly they built temples to worship them and if a god was spoken about in an inappropriate manner they would be punished.  They believed the gods controlled most, if not all, aspects of their life.
