How are the teachings of Christianity any different from Greek Mythology, which most of us believe were just myths. The ancient greeks thought this was right but know we think/know it was wrong. How is Christianity any different, we basically know that it is wrong if you use logic and science?

I believe in divine intervention. If God were not real, just like all the other pagan religions, Christianity would have just died out. But Christianity has survived, and thrived, in all areas of the world, including Democracies where you are not forced to believe in any one religion. Also I have observed that the list of religions is narrowing, some say it's a rise of a more intelligent era, I believe this is partially true, but also this is Gods work (whether it is the Christian God, or other gods doing) to narrow the choices down, and guide his children home.
Also keep in mind nobody is making you believe in Christianity, so if you don't like it, just don't believe. Remember no one not even God is making you believe.

Well, when the Greeks where worshiping their Gods, I'm sure they looked back at the people years before them that worshiped fire and said "Man, those guys were stupid. I'm sure glad we know the truth now!"
Every religion believes that it is "right". And of course, this means that every other religion or belief system is "wrong".
It's human nature, and we won't change it any time soon. =)

It’s rather illogical to compare followers of the God of Abraham to followers of Zeus.
Where are the other houses of worship for the other gods? The lack of evidence is also a sort of evidence, isn’t it?
When people were introduced to the new God, they abandoned their old ways, and their old temples fell to dust.
You don’t have to “believe” in God, but the fact millions of other people do, is evidence of . . . what? Hundreds of millions of people throughout history are foolishly wrong, and you are right?
Ours is an awesome God, tens of millions of people around the world believe it and understand it, and we build buildings where we can gather and worship our powerful God.
If those other gods were real, wouldn’t their followers be worshiping them, too?

Because they are inspired by God and every bit of it is truth. Greek myths are just myths.

If you knew Jesus personally as we do you wouldn't be asking this.
