Country chapter updated 13 October 2020 · retrieved September 5, 2026. This chapter is more than two years old. Its assessments are not confirmation of current law or a prediction about your circumstances.
Blasphemy law abolished in 2019
The ‘blasphemy’ law had been actively used to persecute individuals and groups for portraying, mocking or insulting the Orthodox religion in the form of art or on social media outlets.
Freedom of expression, advocacy of humanist values
Greece is a free country with an open and vigorous parliamentary democracy, according to Freedom House, however “[o]ngoing concerns include corruption, discrimination against immigrants and minorities, and poor conditions for undocumented migrants and refugees.”
Constitution and government
Freedom of speech and press are protected under Article 14, ‘every person may express and propagate his thoughts orally, in writing and through the press in compliance with the laws of the State’. However the “blasphemy” law was abolished only in 2019. Suggestions of reintroducing the provision were scrapped following public outcry. <>

Which Greece findings should I check before acting?
Rage 2 Rebuild highlights 4 published findings for anger and lost years in Greece. Our selection connects the 13 October 2020 chapter with private anger, public criticism and reclaiming ordinary time. Each quote is separate from our practical question. It identifies something to investigate, not a conclusion about your household.
Localised or infrequent but recurring and widespread social marginalisation or prejudice against the non-religious
The report describes social or institutional pressure. That context matters, but it cannot predict the response of one family or community.
A question to verify: Who would learn about the decision, and what essential support could change if that happened?
Some concerns about political or media freedoms, not specific to the non-religious
This is a published assessment of institutions, not an individual outcome or a current legal determination.
A question to verify: Which part of this assessment applies to the actual decision, and what still needs current local verification?
There is systematic religious privilege
This finding is about institutional arrangements. It does not establish the beliefs of a resident, a relative or a specific official.
A question to verify: Which named institution is involved in this decision, and what current written rule should be checked?
State-funding of religious institutions or salaries, or discriminatory tax exemptions
The report discusses an institutional funding or affiliation arrangement. A personal change of belief and a formal administrative record may be separate matters.
A question to verify: Does the actual institution hold a relevant record, and what current process changes it without unintended notification?
What can I do with anger about religion and lost years?
For anger and lost years in Greece, Rage 2 Rebuild suggests this decision: Separate acknowledging the loss from choosing an audience or confrontation. The two starting points below address private anger, public criticism and reclaiming ordinary time. Check consequential facts with appropriate current help; these are reflection prompts, not a certified procedure.
Give the loss a name before choosing a target
What feels taken: education, relationships, time, bodily autonomy, money or trust? A precise loss can suggest a useful next step. A broad argument about everything that happened may leave the most painful part untouched.
Decide what a confrontation would need to accomplish
An explanation, an apology, a changed boundary and a public record are different goals. Consider whether the person or institution you plan to address can provide the thing you want. An unwilling listener may not become accountable because you make the argument more forcefully.

How did religious identity change in Greece?
Rage 2 Rebuild’s Greece table shows 3.7% religiously unaffiliated in 2010 and 4.7% in 2020, using Pew’s all-age population estimates. The seven categories describe religious identity, not how many individuals left religion or experienced harm. Rounded population changes cannot predict acceptance, guilt, safety or a support outcome.
| Identity | 2010 | 2020 | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Christian | 91.2% | 89.5% | -1.7 pp |
| Muslim | 4.5% | 5.1% | +0.6 pp |
| Religiously unaffiliated | 3.7% | 4.7% | +1.0 pp |
| Buddhist | Less than 0.1% | Less than 0.1% | Not calculated |
| Hindu | Less than 0.1% | Less than 0.1% | Not calculated |
| Jewish | Less than 0.1% | Less than 0.1% | Not calculated |
| Other religions | 0.4% | 0.5% | +0.1 pp |
“Other religions” combines traditions that cannot be analyzed separately here. A “less than” input stays an inequality; a change involving it is not calculated. Rounding and demographic processes matter. Nationality does not establish anyone’s beliefs.
