How many Greeks believe in mythology?

I don't know about in modern times, but in Ancient times, virtually all Greeks believed in their gods, which we call Greek Mythology.

As for modern days, I'm hazarding the guess that there are a lot less people who are greek or live in Greece that believe in ancient Greek Mythology. Hope I helped! :)
