Amenhotep wanted to come out of the closet and have his and his peoples religion as the dominant religion of Egypt. Unfortunately for Egypt and the Hyksos; only those related to Amhenhotep were able to living under the one god concept for as long as his kingship lasted. As soon as he died, the sociology demanded a return to their comfort zone.

21. King Tut was forced by politics to return Egypt to polytheism; not because he was a polytheist but the society was revoltingly uncomfortable with the order to change religions. So he allowed the return to societal norms. Pre-Christianity it was common for conquerors to allow the citizens to keep their pre-conquest faith in order to have an easier transition of power. It was not till the Vatican chose to impose its religious beliefs on its conquered cultures that the convert or die came into vogue. The Vatican choosing to massively reduce the population of everywhere it established abbeys and missions to ensure its power and dominance over its new flock as quickly as possible. If the unrepentant will not covert; they did not want those people poisoning the newly converted back to old ways.
