how did greek religion affect the world today?

Answer 1

I think that it has enriched the culture of our modern world. Greek religion was not simply legendary tales and fictitious myths, it was a complex organization with each city-state containing its own divinities, which acted to cement the body of citizens into a true community. Religion played an integral part in Greek religion and their society. Religion entered all parts of Greek society, domestic affairs, civic organization, gender, agriculture and war. And we cannot lose sight of the fact that St Paul had a Greek as well as Jewish educational background which made him better equipped to write his epistles, which have permeated so much of our thought over the past two millennia.

Answer 2

Interesting question in that all you have to do is look around you to see how the Greek Pantheon of Gods and Goddesses have impacted our so called western Christian reality. We still use these symbols to represent things that are important to us.

Chronos - The Father Time image used at New Year's Eve.

Cupid - Every Valentines Day.

Hermes - On every Florist Truck.

I'll leave it there. You should get the idea now. So start looking for influences on your own! :)

Answer 3

Look at the Pagans, Wiccans and Celtic Druids now.... That was the basis of religion until Chirstianity started killing them off. It's the original religion, and never was called religion until Christianity came around.

Answer 4

first we allow it to be taught for two or three generations of Americans that God doesn't exist and that survival of the fittest is the natural process in which we select our leaders.this totally negates the basis of american freedom as a right granted by God established at the birth of our nation. then we promote entertainment that desensitizes those generations, emotionally preparing them for gratuitous violence.while we are at it,lest give them the right to commit fetuside,so we don't have to kill as many people who might resist in the years to come. as well,to curb the birth of children so they won't be such a problem,lets promote a lifestyle of same sex coupling,so they won't make babies. with these measures fully in place,the pacified public no longer cares if they are free,because they have not been educated into what that word really means. so then the wealthy who are involved with this plan,called bureaucracy,will be able to change legislation that at one time held off poverty in this nation, making the transfer of wealth to the 1% of the axxholes who started the process in the 50's. hey,God bless America.
