Greece is a very religious country with the majority of the population being Orthodox. Religion is a important part of the Greek way of life. Historically, the Greek Orthodox people were oppressed for more than 400 years by the Ottoman Empire and yet they remained Orthodox, which shows the importance of religion to the Greeks.
