Greece

What it is

Religion in Greece is dominated by Christianity, in particular the Greek Orthodox Church, which is within the larger communion of the Eastern Orthodox Church; moreover, the Greek Constitution recognises Eastern Orthodoxy as the "prevailing" faith of the country (though in practice Greek lawmaking isn't influenced by religious dogma and most Greeks aren't very religious), while also guaranteeing freedom of religious belief for all. Eastern Orthodoxy represented 81 to 90% of the total population of Greece in 2022. Religions with smaller numbers of followers include Islam followed by different communities of Greek Muslims (now comprising only 2% of the population), Western Catholicism (comprising 1% of the population), Greek Catholicism, Judaism, Evangelicalism, Hellenic paganism, and Jehovah's Witnesses. A number of Greek atheists exist, not self-identifying as religious.
