the ancient greeks were pagans; polytheistic, or believing in many gods. they had gods for nearly everything; earth, sea, love, war, one god above all others... the greeks today, however, are as diverse as any culture and have many religions. though if one could be said to be the leading church it would be the greek orthodox; a division of the byzantine and roman catholic churches.

What is a building that people worship in Greece?
People in Greece do not worship buildings; they either worship divinities or are atheists. Historically, Greeks used to worship divinities in temples devoted to particular gods. Today, Greeks are overwhelmingly Christian (the Greek Orthodox Church) and pray in churches.
What religions are practiced in Greece?
If you are talking about thousands of years ago, it would be the ancient Greeks and their polytheistic pantheon of Gods. You might recognize them by their Greek names or the Roman names they were later given, such as Zeus (Jupiter), Aphrodite (Venus), Hades (Pluto), and Apollo. Today, though, Greeks are about 97 percent Greek Orthodox (though a number of Catholics, Jews, Muslims, and even modern adherents to the classical Greek mythology above exist under the freedom of religion the country enjoys).
What is a Christian considered who is not a member of a Catholic Church?
In the past they would have been called heretics. Today we use more politically correct terms such as Protestant or Orthodox.
Do Greeks still believe in ancient mythology?
Of course not. That was the religion of ancient Greece. The majority of Greeks today are Greek Orthodox Christians. If, and IF there are ANY people left today who still practice that religion, it is because they want to "show off" their ancestors, so to speak. Nobody truly worships the gods as in the old days anymore, however.
