Greek religion, like any ancient religion, has a minimal impact on western civilization in itself. It gave us myths and stories and we sometimes can learn a lesson from them. However the biggest influence the Greek religion has on the entire world is the Olympic Games. The Olympics were religious festivals held to honor the god Zeus.
