    Default Why Greece has state religion? This is year 2017

    ''The Greek Orthodox Church, a member of the Eastern Orthodox Communion, is accorded the status of "prevailing religion" in Greece's constitution, and Greece is the only country in the world where an Eastern Orthodox Church is clearly recognized as a state religion. Since 1850, Greek Orthodoxy within Greece is handled by the Church of Greece.''

    Why is your country still ruled by clerical class and bearded archbishops in black always in state ceremony?

    Why do you twist your panties over Greece?
    It's not as if there is no other country in Europe that has a state religion
    Plus, in reality, Greece is way more secular than so-called secular countries.

    Thats what you say. People who visit Greece say there are bearded bishops everywhere in streets plus Xtian cross in every single room, house, restaurant. Greece is Orthodox Taliban state. Officially!

    It's because they're homogeneous, similar to Armenia. That wouldn't have been the case if they didn't massacre Turks and Jews which made up the majority in much of modern Greek territory.

    • Secularity is the seperation of state and the church. If an individual wears a cross or a start of david, or have something in their house, or their own private business, is irrelevant.
    2) I rarely see bishops, I wonder where the visitors go
    3) I am an Atheist, and I have never had religion forced upon my throat.
