Localized version for English
Greece is Orthodox Christian as a country. The dominant religious context is: Greek Orthodox majority (~90%) with small Catholic and Muslim minorities; church is constitutionally entwined with the state.
Orthodox Christian deconstruction in Greece is rare in the public discourse but real on the ground. The Church is woven into national identity in a way that makes leaving feel like a small treason for some families, even when daily practice was already light. The pillar page on Catholicism is the closest fit doctrinally, and the page on holidays applies given how much of family life is organized around the Orthodox calendar.
Leaving in Greece mostly costs you on a family scale rather than a community or legal scale. The conversations are real and sometimes painful, but the wider society is not configured to punish unbelief.
