Yes, my husband for one and there are many throughout the United States, Greece and the rest of Europe. Despite it's best attempt, Christianity couldn't eradicate the world of paganism.

There's a minor revival of the old religion in Greece, but I think that's more out of petulance than genuine belief in their existence.
About 35 years ago I did stay with relatives in a small village deep in the Greek mainland. The locals were all Christian, but deferred to the old gods in the context of superstition. For example, one old yaya was upset when a tourist complemented her on having a beautiful grandchild. My aunt explained that yaya was denying the child's beauty because Apollo might be jealous and bring her bad luck.

Actually, it's still practiced in certain parts of rural and non-cosmopolitan Greece, as well as a few other mediterranian countries.
