Ancient Greek religion - Revival of paganism
Main article: Neopaganism and Hellenic polytheism.
Many neo-pagan religious paths, such as Wicca, use aspects of ancient Greek religions in their practice; Hellenic polytheism focuses exclusively thereon, as far as the fragmentary nature of the surviving source material allows. It reflects neo-Platonic speculation (which is represented in Porphyry, Libanius, and Julian), as well as Classical cult practice.
The overwhelming majority of modern Greeks are Greek Orthodox, although there is a growing minority of people following the ancient Greek religion, especially among the educated classes. According to church estimates, they are around 40,000 out of a population of 10 million. It makes them a much larger group than Greek Jews, who currently number around 5,000.
