Ellinais is demanding government approval for its downtown offices to be registered as a place of worship — a move that could allow the group to perform weddings and other ceremonies. They threaten further court action unless that permission is granted.
"There should be respect for people who want to express their religious feelings in a different way, that is not the typical Orthodox or Christian way," Peppa said. "We should not be stopped or denied our rights."

Well.... at least.."Ellinais" are more realistic worshipping "Gods" who have some touch with reallity than the "Allmighty God who is seen nowhere"....and "his representatives" trying to fool the masses....that "Ellinais" are worshipping the "Idola" (Idols).
They forget (the representatives) that they have decorated their "Christian churches" with more "idols" than in any other religion or fraction of religion.
At least "Ellinais" they "honor" "Aphrodite"(Venus), when they enjoythe contact of the flesh with their partner. It is no sin.
They "honor" Hermes (Mercury) in their day by day money and goods exchange.
They "honor" Hephaistus(Vulcan) when they have contact with "hand activities and machinery.
They "honor" Athena (Minerva) when they are involved with mental activities and knowledge.
When they prepare the meal and enjoy all together having lunch or dinner....they "honor" Hestia (Vesta)....
and .....
I must not forget Apollon who is the protector of Light, Music, Medicine and Occult.
For each participation in every one of these activities....it is an honoring of Apollon.
To mention about MUSES?????
Well I should be able to write a book, but not enough time or space.
"Ellinais" make a move to get rid of the rotten body of "Christianity" which was created for only one reason. To destroy "Hellinism".
NOT enough though. "Hellinism" is an ideal and not only. The name "HELLAS" and "Hellinism" have the meaning of "LIGHT". and NOTHING can destroy ideals or the "Light".
Because due to "Lack of Light, everything is covered by darkness"
"ESTI GAR HMAR OTE FOIVOS KAI PALIN ELEFSETAI KAI ES AEI ESETAI"...
(translation: It will be the day that FOIVOS (the Greek WORD, Apollon) will come again and He will be for EVER)
(The Greeks knew about the "word" it is not known only by bible.
Whatever is in the bible (except the historical parts of the jewish nation), it is stollen from the Greek culture.

I was in Greece. Its a very small group of neo-pagans yes. "Ellinais" is the greek word for "Greeks" --most greeks dont worship the old gods anymore. I was at the temple of Zeus myself. I am of Greek background. I think those old godlings argued waaaaay too much amongst themselves to be worshiped by me. Hmmm I might date that Aphrodite chick though --but if she thinks Im gonna "worship" her --she is waaay off. lol. WHO MOURNS FOR ADONIS the old Star Trek episode expresses how many modern Greeks I spoke to feel about the old gods. "we've outgrown them" Leave it up to ol' swashbuckling Kirk to say it like it is huh? Oh there was one old timer who is a follower of Spinoza but that doesnt count I guess.
Cheers friends ----and dont forget to dance!

There is a small movement to get back to the old religions. They say they have a right to the old temples since Christians band there religions.
I agree with them.

That makes as much sense as worshiping the god of the Bible.
