The second article begins by saying that USAns enjoy freedom of religion. I wonder how the Bush administration interprets this, with all their "under God" stuff. — JIP | Talk 11:45, 16 August 2005 (UTC)
I think he/she/it is refering to the quote "No, I don't know that atheists should be considered as citizens, nor should they be considered as patriots. This is one nation under God." from Bush the older altough W Bush seems to have simmilar ideas. // Liftarn
I felt that the segment on ancient greece was rather lacking, and held some slightly misleading information. I've added a lot regarding the motives behind some of the persecution, and I added in some history on the paragraph about sacrifices. I elaborated to show that in Thrace human blood sacrifices were not uncommon. I corrected a few grammatical errors as well. I hope everything I've included is satisfactory, I felt it was important to add some context to certain things. -- Lucavix 10:03, 21 August 2005 (UTC)
Much of the information in the final paragraph is wildly inaccurate, and I think it would be a good idea to either delete it or rewrite. I want to hear what other people think about this. The major problem is that none of the claims the paragraph makes about "persecution" of the ancient Greek religion in the US are substantiated:
Is there any evidence that this religion is actually facing persecution in the US? If not, should we just dump the paragraph? - AdelaMae 00:34, 9 November 2005 (UTC)
Just wondering how the ancient greek religion was treated during the occupation by the Ottoman Empire. Were there any practicing polytheists during that 400 years or so? Wesley 17:47, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
Possibly; Plethon the Philosopher lived at the turn of the century that the Ottomans conquered Constantinople (1400's), and references do exist that claim certain Byzantine philosophical schools did exist that called god "Zeus" or "Poseidon." Whether this traditions continued under the Ottomans is almost impossibleto give a conclusive answer for.

I'm surprised this bit of news hasn't made it into the article yet. I've just joined Wikipedia and I don't know much of the markup language or editing procedure, so I don't feel comfortable editing it myself just yet. Estrella 02:37, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
Shouldn't article this be titled "Persecution of ancient Greek religious"? That would mesh with the style of the other articles on Template:Religious persecution. To the point, one cannot persecute religion, only religious people. — coelacan talk — 05:04, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
I would like some additional citations and references to be added in the article's body, especially in the historical information.

I am suprised that no non-Christian sources of persecution for the Greek Religion are included in the article. Surely the Persian, Slavic pagan, Parthian and Ottoman persecutions should also be mentioned? ( RookZERO 19:10, 17 June 2007 (UTC))
I see that some information semi-redundant with the Decline article has been deleted, but that no information not about the modern era remains. I am suprised that historical persecutions of Greek religion like those of the Persians, Parthians, Slavic pagans, and Ottoman Turks have been at all mentioned.( RookZERO 23:09, 26 August 2007 (UTC))
