The Greeks had many gods, each with a different area of interest. Their connection was a compact - give the gods due honour and they will look after you. There was no afterlife - the deal was for human lifespan. There were no religious wars as those gods didn't make claims of uniqueness or sole supremacy.
We have established a god or gods who promise an afterlife where apparently we can spend eternity worshipping the god/gods. These gods have promoted religious wars between humans in their claim for supremacy over other gods.

Greek religion, also known as ancient Greek paganism, was polytheistic, meaning that it worshipped multiple gods and goddesses. In contrast, many modern religions, such as Christianity and Islam, are monotheistic, believing in only one god. Additionally, Greek religion incorporated mythical stories and legends into its beliefs, while modern religions often focus on written religious texts.
