If the religion of Greek and Roman Mythology was more widely practiced, would you be a believer? Why?

This is a question better asked on the Religion and Spirituality section but I will answer here.......
I am a believer. I have been an active practitioner of Hellenismos for over 20 years.
As for why, it is the faith that spoke to me and many others around the world. There is a movement in Modern Greece for Hellenismos to be more widely accepted there and there is even a video titled "I still worship Zeus" available at https://www.nationalfilmnetwork.com/store/ProductDetails.aspx?ProductID=182

No I would not. The greek/roman gods were only godly in that they would live eternally; however they actually had more flaws that most humans.
I personally need a god who is supreme, and allows me to have faith in the goodnees of the world or my life by his perfectness. I need the rock that is the Christian idea of God.
Greek/Roman gods did not love as the real one does and that is why it is not practiced.

I believe that the root of the Greek and Roman "gods" are the Nephilim mentioned in the Bible in Genesis, Read it and see what you think. I think it's in Chapter 6, but I'm not certain.

no! there was to many of them and they were always fighting for power, always turning on themselves. so you would have to choose just one of them.
