"Is this language used during Thelemic rituals?"
None that Crowley wrote, if that's what you meant.

"Coptic was ancient Egyptian in Greek script."
Coptic has its own script, deriving from various eastern Mediterranean sources, though Greek is a primary one. It derives from late Ancient Egyptian, but it isn't the same language. It has a similar relationship to Ancient Egyptian to that of early forms of Italian to late Latin. It has never fallen entirely out of use as a liturgical language, but scholars assume there has been a gradual shift in pronunciation over the centuries.
