Greece is a beautiful country with some of the worst politics I’ve ever heard of. It’s top of my wishlist for places to visit but every article I see about it is how the Christians have taken more power and want to ban women from coffee shops or something stupid.
pretty much: beautiful country and absolutely horrid public decision making on every level imaginable - not quite because of religion. idk what it is. likely corruption + not caring at all about nature, people or efficiency.
From Greek acquaintances of mine I think this isn’t religion but rather the Greek version of the identitarian performative politics so commonly used almost everywhere nowadays to distract people from just who thoroughly corrupt politics has become and how incredibly bad countries are managed nowadays when outcomes are measured in terms of median quality of life.

Maybe their problems actually are forgetting the Law of Zeus: fuck everything that moves
