As a amtter of fact there are a gret many people in Greece that follow the Greek gods. One of the groups just held a rite this sunday at the ancient temple of Zeus. According to the last figures I saw (back in 04) there are nearly 1 million people in Greece that have returned to the worship of the TRUE Greek gods. There ae also people in other parts of the world as well. I have a contact in England that is a devout follower of Athena and I know a number of people that are devotees of several of the Greek Gods. Hopefuly, soneday soon, the Greek gods will have their rightful place in the lives of ALL Greeks restored.

I'm an atheist but I have to say if I had no knowledge of science or mathematics and was trying to make sense of the natural world with supernatural explanations the polytheistic explanation fits a lot better with the observations than a monotheistic explanation. It's better in these ways:
It deals with the many contradictions in monotheism. If there are multiple gods, each with their own agenda, each with their own powers, each with their own personality that better explains the fact that we see conflict in the world.
It better explains the fact that the world is not homogenous. It recognizes differences between land, sea and sky, etc.
It accounts for the fact that there are things in the world that are good and bad.

Nothing would surprise me. There are nut-balls on this forum that think tarot cards tell the future -- little scraps of cardboard with pictures.
I read a post from a Wiccan dude who claims that he pulls energy off of his silver necklace to fend off evil spirits while he's casting spells.
It's astonishing what creative ways people dream up to make fools of themselves.

Not outrightly or knowingly. The names of some of the statues in the catholic church (specifically in Rome) have been changed from their original greek god names such as Jupiter to a known chrisitian character Peter The statue was originally in a greek temple but adopted by the catholic church which themselves only changed there appearnace back then to appear christian. Or another example is the Queen of Heaven as mentioned in the Old Testament was worshipped and God hated it and abhorred it. Now we see the catholic church doing the very same thing. Her name is Mary. According to the catholic church she is the queen of heaven now. But same lying spirit.

Genesis Chapter 6 verse 6 tells us that Gods, or the sons of God came to earth and mated with the women. So it is highly possible that Zeus and Athena are real. According to geography it happened there in Greece. And that is where all the monuments to the Gods are. Or at least most of them.
