It's difficult to think of modern ways that weren't influenced by ancient Greece - philosophy, law, governance, diplomacy, commerce, art, architecture, mechanical engineering, science, history, writing, poetry, plays, religion, language, etc.

Ancient Greek Philosophy has some similarities with Western religions, yet this does not prove that it influenced all of the Western religions, so far as the doctrines are concerned. The Greek language and its dominance during the time of the early Patristic writers mean that they would have used terms in common with Ancient Greek philosophers, without necessarily ascribing the same meaning to the words. For instance the word hades is used in the Greek New Testament, but its meaning is not the same as in ancient Greek (just like hell is derived from a Germanic language). Some of the Ancient Writers would have been impressed by the Culture and thought of the Greek philosophers and as such affected their perspective of what the Bible teaches.

Believing that (MACEDONIA) Today's Northern Greece was always Greece and never belong to the country MACEDONIA!!!
Today's country MACEDONIA was divided in 1913 by Americans and the Britishes!! Greece took a large part of land from MACEDONIA! They changed names of Cities, Villages Lakes and rivers! Macedonian that were left in this part did not have human rights, they were not allowed to speak the MACEDONIAN language only Greek!! Greece has been writing nothing but propaganda about MACEDONIA its history and people!! That is why today they say that there is a MACEDONIA but it is Greek!! Nothing but a lies!! If you go today to Northern Greece their are older people which speak the MACEDONIAN language which is totally different from the Greek language!! People need to wake up and see What really happen to MACEDONIA and its people in the past! It is pretty sad!! Hundred of thousands of people that left this part and were not allowed to return only after 40-50 years to see where they were born!! MACEDONIA FOR THE MACEDONIAN PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tremendously!
The immortality of the soul is a Hellenistic Greek thought.
I think Valentines Day has some of the Grecian rites in it.
Some of their myths are immortalized in stellar names and constellations
